Flight socks

Could anyone tell me what grade of flight socks they use when flying? (I can see there is two different grades)

Many thanks 

  • Hi Cocktail,

    This is a good question.

    You do not say how long your flight will be.

    The standard grade for DVT risk prevention on long flights is 15-20mmHg (class 1 equivalent). On the longer haul flights 20-30mmHg (class 2 equivalent) might be more effective. If you have any circulatory problems, it is best to seek the advice of a medical professional before investing in these, as some compression socks offer greater levels of compression for those who need it.

    Kind regards,

    Jolamine
