I flew 7 hrs to LAX with a 6 hr stopover @A myRAteam Member. Then 18 more hrs to Australia. Stay hydrated, wear support stockings, get up and move at least every 2 hrs. I was on Prednisone for about 1 mo including time before the trip and after. It still did a number on me. My feet and ankles were so swollen about 3x normal size. Maybe you will do better. Good luck!
