#1
Singapore Airlines
4.3
(7)
"Unlimited budget? SQ A380 Suites class, direct SG to Heathrow."
"Best is SQ direct flight to Manchester."
"Tbh the 16.5hrs isn’t so bad (on SG airlines) especially if you can sleep it off - but Japan is a good place to stopover."
"SQ better than BA or QF."
"Direct with SQ, BA, or QF."
"Singapore airlines could also be a good option but the flight is longer."
"Recent one I did was $800 roundtrip to Tokyo from LA on Singapore Airlines."
#2
Emirates
4.4
(5)
"Emirates is a solid choice for flights from Delhi."
"Emirates and Qatar airways typically have the best in class service."
"Emirates via DXB."
"Most commonly Emirates."
"Emirates was better in terms of comfort and price."
#3
Aer
3.7
(6)
"I'd personally go with an Aer City Pack Pro over the Travel Pack 3 Small if I'm pairing it with a roller suitcase."
"The most common budget airlines in the US (Spirit and Frontier) have a personal item size of 14x18x8, so technically the CPP fits and the TP3S doesn’t."
"Yeah, but CPP2 has a vertical luggage passthrough. So much better spinner companion"
"I agree, that's why the Comet is my travel backpack due to being lighter and carrying more."
"Have to agree that the Aer City Pack Pro (V2 these days) seems like the more logical companion to a spinner bag if you want to stick with Aer."
"Definitely not the TP3"
#4
Google Flights
4.5
(4)
"Google flights!"
"Great for discovering the best travel dates and showing price trends across months."
"I check google flights for comparison and then book directly with the airlines"
"I myself use Google Flights and Skyscanner."
#5
Flight Circle
4.0
(4)
"I run a simple flight club with flightcircle and it’s great."
"It has much better features and the app is actually useful for more than the bare minimum."
"I like Flight Circle best probably but can be buggy. Customer service can help though."
"Inexpensive but lots of useful features."
#6
Briggs & Riley
4.3
(3)
"Top tier for me would be a Briggs Riley Sympatico 3.0 with Osprey Comet 30L."
"I got the Briggs for $580. Open box on Amazon."
"I’d argue the B&R baseline global spinner plus maybe the aer cpp would make a better logical combo for travel just about anywhere."
#7
Expedia
4.0
(3)
"Expedia"
"I usually use sites like kayak, Expedia or TripAdvisor to find reviews and pricing."
"Good experiences with Expedia, but issues can arise with changes or cancellations."
#8
Turtle Beach
4.0
(3)
"Turtlebeach velocityone flightstick + Turtlebeach rudder here. I got the stick just because of that throttle slider for collective use."
"I'm using the Turtlebeach Stick, works perfect and you can use the small sliders as a collective."
"I have the Turtle Beach and absolutely love it."
#9
Boracay
3.7
(3)
"Slight hassle lang siguro when you have a kid with you is yung airport transfers to Boracay island."
"Very family friendly."
"Boracay is nice, but like what the others have stated, hassle ang transfer from airport to the island."

#12
Moza
5.0
(2)
"If money were no object a Moza AB9 with a Virpil grip and the TCL upgraded base also from virpil."
"The best in my opinion is the MOZA AB9, simply because it has the ability to have zero spring and can actually function like a cyclic."
#13

(2)
"Thanks for the insight! I'll look into CSP for sure. I just got some free mileage for my Barclays sign up and plan to use those for flights. CSP will be beneficial to have as well!"
