My feet and ankles swell when i am on a plane why?

Not serious...: It is common for blood to pool in the veins during inactivity as well as the gravity of the legs being the lowest point. If it bothers you, support stockings may be helpful. http://www.mayoclinic.org/diseases-conditions/edema/expert-answers/foot-swelling/faq-20057828
