Hi, given your history and recent turn of events I would definitely advice you to see your Doctor before you embark upon a long Air travel which entails sitting for a long time and predisposes to more thrombosis. So, you should avoid the travel if you can, otherwise, atleast ask your Doctor about any added medication that you should take as well an evaluation of your leg. Take care,
