Peter Greenberg: Preventing Deep Vein Thrombosis
I am 81 years old and my wife is 77. I booked a 16-day cruise from Beijing to Bangkok. Because of the long flight from New York, one of our friends talked to my wife, saying that it is long trip, you are too old, you could get blood clots, etc., and made me cancel this trip. I want to know if I can travel for 14 hours straight. I flew to Australia and many times to Greece almost every other year, and twice a year we fly to Europe. Please give some advice. –Paskalis, Hicksville, N.Y.

Peter Greenberg: Service Dogs on Planes
I am a senior citizen with a hearing disability, and I have a service dog. I know there are rules concerning animals traveling on airlines. Could/would you please tell me what they are, and does my service dog ride inside the plane with me? She has her vest and patches, which she will be wearing. She will also have her health certificate, and I DO NOT want to put her in a cage or in the cargo hold and expose her to diseases. I am planning a trip to Canada and need to make the reservations. Any help you can give me would be greatly appreciated. Thank you. –Patricia, Jefferson, Ore.
