Hi - I’m hoping for some wisdom! I’m wary 60s and not well travelled. Don’t like flying and not confident at airports etc. Always had OH with me but things are ending after 30 years. 😣 My adult DC, only family, is in Australia and wants me to go over for 1-3 months. After a v difficult time with my marriage, it is appealing. But I’m v nervous of undertaking the long flight. I had a friend who went over and had terrible turbulence and was terrified, which doesn’t help! What if I get there and can’t face the flight back!! 😫
Is it best to do the trip in one go? I kind of lean towards that rather than a lengthy stop-off, alone in some airport.
Is there a better time of day/night to depart (or do you have to go with what’s available)?
I could potentially afford first class - would that be worth it?
Many thanks!
