Thanks for all the replies ladies, not sure if they sell the flight socks here normally, so if not, does anyone know if they're normally sold at airports? I was also thinking of checking out Mothercare to see if they had some there.
Just check with your airline before hand and you will need to travel with a letter from your doctor saying your safe to travel. I just travelled with British Airways and they let you travel up to 36 weeks with Dr's letter. I was never questioned once for the letter, so all airlines are different. I will say though that I wouldn't recommend it unless its really necessary. I was so uncomfortable, couldn't sleep and was very restless. My flight was only 6 hours and that was enough for me so can't imagine doing a 16 hour flight! I wore flight socks too which helped with swelling. Its your decision at the end of the day but bear in mind its not going to be comfy

I've flown internationally many times and I know how uncomfortable it can be when you're perfectly healthy and non pregnant, so I'm really dreading the discomfort of the flight considering I'm already uncomfortable all the time and have trouble sleeping in a normal bed. I would normally avoid traveling like this, but I'm going for my grandfather's funeral and I know I'd regret it if I missed it
