What compression level is best for long flights?

Reviewer consensus

Across mainstream reviewers and travel-focused community threads, 15-20 mmHg (moderate, graduated) is the most commonly recommended range for flights and general travel use. 20-30 mmHg is firmer and is more often cited by reviewers with specific circulation concerns, longer 10+ hour itineraries, or medical guidance — it's harder to put on and noticeably tighter.
