Brief Answer:
You can switch pills

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

I understand your concerns about pills.

1) Long distance travel does have risk of clots but you need to keep walking during journey.

2) Switching pills won't affect. You can shift.

3) Gillette 35 alone is good enough.

4) You can take pills without a break.

5) No need of starting pills one month prior.

Let me know if you need anymore help.
