Booking a long flight. Should I use a travel agent?

I am looking for advice.
When my DH was alive, we planned our trips together and enjoyed doing it. Now as I fill in dates and times on the airline websites, I'm filled with dread.
Partly because I am afraid I'll get it wrong but also fear of the actual journey. It will be the first time I have flown alone for many years . I very much want to visit my DS and his family in NZ.

Reported.

Don't apply for visas through these companies as they charge a fee for visas which are free if applied for through official channels.

As a tourist, you will need an Electronic Travel Authority for New Zealand or Australia but they are free.
