For me, my left leg is usually 30% - 40% larger than my right. After several hours in the air (I think the longest flight I have had was 5 hours) it gets up to about 50% - 70% larger then the right. Wear very loose shoes - slippers, velcro tie, etc. so you can easily adjust them as the size changes.

I usually get back to my "normal" swollen size in about 4 or 5 hours after landing.
