For long haul flights the airline choice may make a difference to your comfort and hence stress level at the end. For cost savings, indirect flights with one or more stops are often cheapest. When comparing options, do compare the total journey time by including the time between flights as these can sometimes be long.

For some long journeys it may be beneficial to choose stops along the way in order to stretch legs and give the kids some time to run around - just make sure that the stop-over time is long enough for that (are you even departing from the same terminal you will arrive in!)
