I did and they were very beneficial for me. I wore them for a 3 hour flight at 24 weeks and a 9 hour flight at 27 weeks. I still swelled a bit, but it would have been worse without them. I also wore them for car trips longer than 1.5 hours or I swelled. I got them at a local pharmacy. Walmart also had cheaper lower compression rating ones. The ones I got from the pharmacy were sigvaris brand and were knee high and perfect; it was worth spending the extra money in a good brand.

I would wear them for your length of flight.

I wore them on transatlantic flights at 26 and 28 weeks, and I do think they were necessary. I didn't wear them on shorter 2 hour flights and they weren't truly necessary, but I did have some swelling. If you're already swelling at work you may want to pick some up just to be safe. Walmart and most drug stores seem to have them - I got the ones more like ace bandage material than like regular socks. I think they were called medium pressure or something like that?

I took a transatlantic flight (7ish hours) at about 25 weeks last time and did not have compression socks-- I wish I had though! I swelled horribly and had difficulties walking for a few days when I arrived. I will be trying them when I fly around 25ish weeks on a long, long flight this summer!

I did on two flights because my swelling was pretty bad from early on.
One flight around 20 weeks that was 4 hours cross country.
Another to and from Italy around 25 weeks (babymoon).

I honestly don't know if I would do it again. It sort of helped with swelling, but they still blew up when I get there anyway. And I just had really bad indents.

I flew to and from Turkey at 20 and 22 weeks - 12 and 14 hour flights. I asked my OB if she recommended the compression stockings. She said because I hadn't had any swelling or BP issues, and was late in the pregnancy it wasn't needed. I didn't wear them, but got up frequently and walked the aisles (as I normally do on long flights), and kept hydrated, and was fine.
