Don't worry too much about the fuel report after only flying for an hour or so - you are most likely climbing and burning four or five times the fuel
in cruise. I flew a 777 from CYEG to EGLL and after the climb to FL260 it said I only had 3 hours fuel and I had about 6.5 hours left in the flight.
The fuel consumption drops dramatically once at cruise altitude.
But, make sure you use the flight planners to plan your fuel load for the flight
