What to wear on a flight:

• Your number one priority is to be as comfortable as you can. Layer up with loose, breathable clothing and don't forget to pack a jacket in case it gets cool in the cabin. Always go with flat, slightly roomy shoes as your feet may swell a little during the flight. Leave the high heels and hiking boots in your main luggage.

Walking around the cabin and doing regular foot and leg exercises while seated is a great way to prevent this from occurring.
