Alaska Airlines

I don't know why, but I always travel American Airlines. Never had a problem and I always had a comfortable and affordable experience.

I wanna know this as well. I know American Airlines SUCKED when I flew to Amsterdam. Seats were hard as a rock.

I always liked United and Delta. Dont like southwest

Asiana

I fly southwest whenever I can. Cheaper, and on time more often than the other airlines.

The one time in the past couple years I flew Northwest (to Beijing), every single plane I rode (total of 3 or 4, I think) was delayed by more than an hour. It was a joke.

Virgin Atlantic

AA. When you fly international IT MATTERS.

Cross country on UA to Atlanta? No problem. But a short hop to LA on AA made me feel 20 times better with the leg room. Flying to Helsinki on a 7 hr flight in crammed coach is bad. Flying 13 hrs to Taiwan in United coach is horrible. Flying 15 hrs to Guangzhou on the tiniest seats ever for a Chinese airline is DEATH.

I honestly think AA is the best because of its legroom. I've flown SFO - JFK a few times and it's just the best way to go. Leg room isn't amazing on the 767s, but definitely beats anything on any other airline. Their MD-80s really have NICE legroom though... it kinda depends on the plane I guess.

SWA

Avoid Cathay Pacific for international flights. I'm 5'7" and I felt so cramped in coach. So much that the next time my family went to India and since we had to go by Cathay, we chose business.

swiss air pwns

 

[PetunZ]

jet blue.

Dunno the prices (they have sales often), but it's so nice to have my own lil television screen.

Midwest Airlines..... Leather seats and 2x2 seating instead of 3x2 seating on a 737.... Fresh oven baked cookies and plenty of legroom
Also IMO, United> Delta

 

[EyeMWing]

Jet Blue, hands down - IF you're going where they want to go and are willing to use tier-2 airports.

 

[kami333]

Always United. Once you start racking up the miles, you might as well stay with one airline.

Buy coach, haven't sat there for international flights in about 5years, either first or business.
Economy Plus for domestic, plus they'll keep the seat next to me open until the flight is almost full.
Both my parents are 1K (mother is million mile) so tons of free drink tickets each year.

 

[aircooled]

I used to strictly fly United. nowadays I ind myself in the southwest cattle-call.

Agreed! Those cookies are really delicious too!

Southwest, support the only airline that isnt eating hundreds of millions in our money becuase of terrible business models.

indeed. flights range from $59-244 for a one way. it depends on the time of year though. having leather seats and television screens plus free snacks is a definite perk.

 

[loup garou]

Jet Blue. I can't believe anyone would mention anything else unless they don't fly to a city near them or they're talking international.

All the Southwest 737s I've been on have had leather seats.
Southwest has never FSCKED me like Delta and American have - if they do something wrong they make it right without you having to pry them into doing it.
People that work for southwest seem happier; people on the planes seem to not have sticks up their asses.

Yea, you don't get food, and Southwest's flight model is more prone to delays due to weather in other cities, but I hate flying anything else.

 

[pclstyle]

virgin atlantic and british airlines are nice, but i've only flown them to the UK.

for asia: cathay, jal and sing air are great too

 

[AtlantaBob]

Midwest Express. 4 across seating -- no "middle seat," large, leather seats, and freshly baked cookies in flight.

Such a shame that you have to by flying to the Midwest to use them.
