First time flying since January 2020. Looking for tips, encouragement..,

As the title says… I am flying to visit my family for the first time since January 2020. Just before things hit the fan in the US. I’m still having doubts I’ll be able to get on the plane due to the fears surrounding getting ill, catching something and bringing it to my family, etc. I will of course be masking. I have the option to choose where I sit on the flight. Does it matter? A window seat makes the most sense, but does back of the plane or something like that matter? If I could afford something closer to the front I’d opt for it but it’s out of my price point.

Anything anyone else did that helped them ease their mind when traveling again. It’s been so long since I’ve seen my family and I’m really hoping to be able to make this work. Just looking for anything anyone has to share to make this easier. Thanks in advance.
