Detailed Answer:
Hi and thanks for your query.
It is safe to take aspirin before a flight. If you wish to take this because of the risk of a possible clot, that also okay. However, the best thing to do is to walk around and stretch often during the flight. This will ensure regular blood flow and prevent the risk of forming a clot.
