Looking for answers please

Hello I hope no one is going to shout at me for posting on here, I'm not a trainee pilot, and neither do I work for any airline, just a fearfull flyer whos hoping some very kind person on here can put my mind at rest on a few questions before my flight to Murcia Spain in June.

I'm flying to Murcia in June with Jet2 and im really worried as I'v read that most of their aircrafts are over 20years old, should i be worried about that..? also in an attempt to ease my fear of flying iv been searching the net and rarther that put my mind at ease iv made my fear worse as I'v ended up coming across all the horror stories, ie plane crash's near miss's etc, one I'v just read all about is the fatal crash of the 981 turkish flight from paris to london where the cargo doors came open, I'v also read a few stories similiar to this happening. Can anyone tell me what the likely hood of the cargo doors coming open on my flight..?

Im hoping to eliviate all these fears before my flight, so that myself and family can enjoy a family holiday, my daughter who is only 8yrs old is really looking forward to it, but to be honest all I want to do at this moment in time is cancel it and settle for a wet rainy week in a caravan somewhere.
