It will help: Make sure to stay well hydrated and walk around on the plane. The worst thing is to sit still, drink alcohol and get dehydrated.

several options: Aspirin, stay hydrated (not alcohol ) and a mild compression stocking. Get up and walk around every hour or two. Blood thinners can be used if your DVT risk is thought to be higher.

Short notice: Trochanteric bursitis usually responds to injection of steroid + local anesthetic providing almost instant relief. Otherwise dr. Halin has given excellent advice regarding hydration and movement to reduce risk of dvt. Bon voyage ; good luck.
