Hi Jenny
Glad I could reassure you about the stopover.
I personally love flying. I always make sure I have plenty to occupy me, such as a good book or two and a newspaper. You'll be able to watch inflight entertainment on the way, too, and it's easy to get through two or even three of the latest films. The meals help break up the journey, too. I take earplugs, as I find they help when you want to get a little sleep. And make sure you walk aound and stretch your legs from time to time.
Have a great trip,
Cheryl
