Would love any tips from FT gurus -- thanks!
Your question is a common one but it really fits into the category of "how long is a piece of string?" There are so many variables that need to be looked at.

Is this the only time you are going to fly?
Do you want Frequent Flyer points?
Where else do you fly?
How are you with cuisine from other countries?
Are you taller than average? Heavier?
What's your budget for tickets?
