HI, thanks for using healthcare magic
Yes, it is okay for her to fly and no she does not need to wear a compression stocking unless she has a previous history of venous disease/varicose veins..
With the prolonged flight, she would need to shift herself throughout the flight and also get up to walk at least 3 times.
I hope this helps
