I have not flown at all since the pandemic began and this will be my first flight in almost a year, but I have to fly as it’s an emergency, otherwise I wouldn’t fly.

Hopefully all goes well, but I would like to be prepared for the worst. I can’t find much info though...

The airlines flying the long routes transpac have significant information about the environment onboard. I would read up on that as it may allay some fears about the flight itself. The reality is the airplane is likely one of the safest places outside of your home you will be.
