I've flown to the States on my own a few times...I actually prefer to fly alone (only have to worry about myself). I never move from my seat once Ive say down and I never take my seatbelt off... I always have a few drinks and take a sleeping pill on long haul...just be careful you don't wake up with your head on the person next to you (as I have done). I've never really had a bad experience either, I'm just not a fan. My brother is a pilot on long haul flights and he has only ever had one near disaster LOL. Very little really to worry about. Just relax and try to enjoy it....you'll love NY.
