Hi FlyerTalkers!

I have the option to pick between BR7, 17, and 27 (all SFO to TPE) in Royal Laurel class. Thoughts on which is best / what to optimize for? Would then be connecting onward to Manila (also in business class).

Have flown LH, OS, LX, TK, CX, UA, SQ, and 1-2 others in either biz or first class, so not looking for anything wildly flashy or brand new (not sure how BR RL stacks up against all of the aforementioned ... but I've heard it's close to CX First without the cost, which is nice as I was just in CX First which was outstanding) ... really trying to understand the differences between the 3 due to the timing, and if its better to take the later flights (how would meals work? Sleep right away?) or the midday one.

THANK YOU
