Hello,
You can take the clexane prior to the flight. You can apply compression stocking also to prevent venous thrombosis. You have to flex and move lower limbs and do not keep limbs in a fixed position for long duration.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
