Think twice before choosing a window seat on the plane, for a new study has found that the view chair increases the chance of deep vein thrombosis.
Love the window seat when traveling by air? Researchers are suggesting that you'd be much better off with aisle-seats. The reason - air travel may not be 'a breeze' if you insist on a seat with a view because these seats increase the chance of deep vein thrombosis.
According to researchers, those sitting by the window face double the risk of a potentially deadly blood clot.The dangers are even greater for obese passengers, who are six times more likely to develop a blockage than if they sit next to the aisle, reports the Telegraph.
It is reportedly thought that the findings could be explained by passengers being more cramped in window seats.
