Assistant: It sounds like your issue isn’t cramping as much as you want to avoid the soreness that you feel after the cramping is resolved.  
After you stretch your legs, it’s good to do some gentle, repetitive movement in your ankles and calves to help get rid of that soreness.  You can also do ankle circles and toe flexes to help prevent cramping.

Assistant: The easy way is to take medication, as most airlines have been pressured by the FDA to give them to passengers, even though most people would prefer to use natural or non-chemical remedies for things like leg cramping. If you want to try without medication, there are many people who swear by massaging your calves, or other parts of the leg, to prevent cramps. You could also do some stretching. It might be best to ask the airlines to leave the aisle open during landing, if you can, and have the passengers practice their legs stretching exercises to avoid cramps.
