Practical Advice on Contact Lenses Please

I wear glasses to correct shortsightedness and slight astigmatism. I am considering getting Contact lenses, and I was wondering if anyone who wears them for flying can vouch for them (or otherwise).
1. I fly long haul and I'm concerned about them drying out. Is this a problem?
2. Is the cleaning of them each night a bit of a bind or does it become part of the routine?
3. I've heard that some people buy daily/ weekly or monthly contact lenses. What scheme works best and can you use them for longer than the "design period"?
4. Can you wear them behind swimming goggles?
Thanks in advance for your advice.
