Within a month I will be visiting my folks in India. The sky is expected to be clear till monsoon (June). Looking for a scope that will be easy on Airline; interesting to my Parents and kids of all ages also not so hard on budget. Well I know it’s a lot to ask for.
Any suggestion, please drop a line smile

Thank you,
Ansuman

The Orion StarBlast would be my suggestion. I remember Phil Harrington (author of StarWare, etc.)using it for airline travel once by breaking it down into the base (disassembled and in checked baggage), and the OTA, which is only about 18" long, in a carry-on bag.
