In the television report "Die naturheilkundliche Reiseapotheke" (June 24, 2002 - WDR television), wearing compression or support tights is definitely recommended when traveling to the Mediterranean region.
Even people who do not otherwise wear support tights should take precautions and wear them when traveling. A number of cases of the so-called "tourist class syndrome" have become known in recent years. What is meant by this is a thrombosis, which occurs particularly frequently in the narrow tourist class. Wearing support tights reduces the risk of thrombosis when travelling. They also prevent edema from forming and that you don't get "heavy legs".
However, the term "travel tights", which is mentioned in many publications, is not defined. Good support tights are suitable, and if you want to be on the safe side, you should wear class I compression tights.
Since the risk of thrombosis persists for up to five days after the end of the trip, it is necessary for effective prevention to wear the support tights at least until this point in time.
Maybe a trip is a reason to think about wearing support tights regularly in the future...
