Get some men pressure stockings. You should find them in the pharmacy area. I got started with these by prescription from my Doc. I think there's some non-prescription ones out there.
Compression socks are the best method. In order to work, I need to fly multiple times and a lot of flight time per week. My legs became swollen during the flight and my friends recommended compression socks to me. After that, I noticed that my feet and ankles no longer swelled after the flight, my legs were strongly compressed, and I felt better overall. And some old lady treatments:
1) Vinegar-If possible, a few flannel / towels, soak them in a mixture of vinegar and water and wrap them around the feet and ankles.
2) Cabbage leaves. Yes, indeed, they can help reduce swelling and inflammation, and sometimes we also put cabbage bandages on horses.
