Hi Angel, I did visualise the journey and the holiday and kept visualising not freaking out and if I did dealing with it I was with my Husband and my family, we are thinking about going next year again, the main thing that bothered me besides all the horrible images was that the flight would go slow and seem ages as 8.5 hours is a long time but it actually went really quick and I did'nt watch any films as I just tried to stay focused the whole way, I did hold my Husband hand the whole way there and back which helped. I kind of broke the journey up in like the first few hours the crew would be bringing food round etc so that time would pass quickly, then a film for 2 hours, then more food and then about 1 - 1.5 hours before starting to descend again and also know where you are eg over sea etc as ask a steward that way you know you are getting close to getting of the plane.
