It still hasn't been proved that long flights cause DVT. Even the medical world seems to be divided. So how can anyone prove that their DVT was caused by the flight?
I guess some people are more prone to DVT than others.
How are the airlines to know? Should passengers have to hold a Class 3 medical, or produce a letter from their GP saying they're fit to fly?
