	Deep Vein Thrombosis (DVT) DVT is a serious condition involving blood clots in the legs. Sometimes, these clots can break away and travel through the bloodstream to vital organs of the body. In the lungs, a clot can cause pulmonary embolism (PE). Prolonged physical immobility, such as sitting for an extended period, is considered in the medical community to be a risk factor associated with DVT. DVT in theory could arise in any setting where a person is immobile for an extended period -- including, for example, while seated at home or in an office, when watching a movie, or when riding in an automobile or airplane. Repeated episodes of prolonged physical immobility may increase the risk.
	Risk Factors
	Past or current medical conditions that generally are considered risk factors and which may increase the likelihood of DVT formation include any one of the following: Blood clotting disorders Cancer Oral contraceptive use, or hormone therapy Personal history of DVT or PE Heart disease (including history of heart attack or congestive heart failure) or other vascular disease Obesity Pregnancy Recent major surgery or trauma (e.g., within the past six weeks) Varicose Veins Increasing age and tobacco smoking also may be considered risk factors. Of course, regardless of advice your doctor may give, all passengers are required to comply at all times with all crew member -- including those relating to remaining seated.
	Travelling while Pregnant
	Always consult your doctor before travel. Please also be aware that a medical certificate may be required if you will be traveling within 4 weeks of your delivery date in a normal, uncomplicated pregnancy. For international travel or any flights over the water, travel is not advised within 30 days of the due date, unless you are examined by an obstetrician within 48 hours of outbound departure and certified in writing as medically stable for flight.
