Hi Adel,
As everyone has suggested, this is such a contentious issue. I would be surprised if this person paid to fly business class when going on holiday, however being active on a flight and moving around is something that people forget to do and it is very helpful, as is maintaining hydration. I am afraid I tend to chicken out of these and let our OHP see them, having said that where this hasn't been an option in other jobs, I have sought GP and /or specialist information before offering advice, and rarely has it been a health need to fly business class in my experience.

Good morning
Does anyone have any advice or had any experience with employees who are required to fly long haul and them requesting to fly business class only, they state they have a high risk of DVT. Info to date (appointment yet to be completed) is Oedema and high DVT risk, osteoarthritis (had surgery to remove veins) and requires a flat bed / seat tip (only get this in business class). At this stage am yet to review but not convinced this would be a recommendation as there are several other recommendations individuals can do to help reduce risk i.e. flight socks, regular movement. However, I would like to seek the opinions of others who may have had similar cases and maybe aware of why this may be a supporting recommendation.
Many thanks.
