    Risks in long trips are deep vein thrombosis and also decrease air pressure.

    Your dad should take his medication regularly. I am sure he will be on aspirin. He should have enough rest prior to the trip and don’t get into a rushed and stressed state when getting to the airport etc…

    Don’t consume too much food or alcohol during the flight. And he should walk a bit in the cabin to improve blood circulations to the legs

    I think that will be sufficient to reduce the risk of any events while in the flight
