I fly from Dallas to Seoul once a quarter or so. My feet swell about one full size. I've found that avoiding caffeine, salty food, and alcohol help. I bring water and drink like a fish. Instead of compression socks, I go the opposite way, loose fitting socks and slippers. I've found the compression socks very uncomfortable, and 14 hours + in them is brutal. When I get in at 5 pm, I go to the gym, eat and try to sleep. The next morning I hit the caffeine, and hard.
It seems to work.
