Of a particular flight with QANTAS, also mirrored by similar experineces with Thai Airways and Malaysian Airlines (regretfully the opposite of my horrid and dangerous, health wise, with United Airlines - but tahts another story for another section).
I love flying, and since my forst flight in 1998, I have been a passenger in planes over 50 times. Absolutely love it.
However, with recent surgery on my legs (benign lesions) I am now an elevated DVT risk - I take the precaustions - pressure socks, regular exercise and water. I also make a point of informing the CSR at check in.
On every flight (except with the United ones), I was provided with an exit row seat, or if not available I wuld be reminded to exercise.
As an example on the QANTAS flight, I was given a drink of water every hour and reminded to take a short walk. The message had been passed on from the wonderful CSR at check in to the Attendants on the plane. Even a co-pilot came back to see if I was okay!
Fantastic service!
