I love travelling alone. This means you get to do what you want to do without making an concessions to someone else's lame wishes. I have generally, with the exception of Paris, been treated like royalty when I've been on my own. You will have fun.

As for the flying. Gee I have difficulty with that. But, I visited my pdoc and he prescribed me a tranquilizer to take (ativan maybe?). I informed the flight attendants and they were good enough to look after me quite well.

Great luck! aurevoir et bon voyage!
