I have to say, this is just a matter of personal preference. I cannot imagine myself enduring a 13 hour flight in one go, so I tend to pick an airline that happens to have connections in Dubai. It's about halfway when I'm visiting my girlfriend, and it feels really nice to walk around, stretch a bit, use a real toilet, etc.
My girlfriend is the opposite, she prefers to come here with a direct flight because it's less of a hassle and she's able to rest on the plane all the way.
That's true for European low-cost airlines. Sometimes they would treat you worse than cattle.
However, on AirAsia I had a much better experience, although I only flew once with them.
Generally, in Europe they would mess with your hand-carry.
With AirAsia, my experience was that no one gives a damn crap about your bags. Just follow their rules, and if your bag looks reasonable, no one will say anything.
I would suggest that at all times when you're seated, with one exception: don't wear it while boarding is still in progress and the seatbelt sign isn't on. While turbulence mostly can be predicted, in some rare cases it cannot be. But they remind you of that during either the safety briefing or the captain's first PA.
Duh. I mean, why else would they be hanging right in front of you while the cabin is getting depressurized?
Just kidding. I know you meant medical masks.
