Favorite Airline

[Cognizant]

I haven't flied on anything but United, but American Airlines looks attractive to me now. I also like Lufthansa, KLM, and British Airways.

[project_icarus]

If they were on the list, I'd vote (either, but in order)
-Qantas
-Singapore
-BA

Qantas is the second oldest (after KLM Royal Dutch), and the safest (cleanest safety record) in the world.
Singapore and BA are on par with Qantas in terms of comfort and satisfaction, to my knowledge anyhow.

[PinkFloyd]

Well I've flown
- Delta/Northwest
- Southwest
- Airfrance
- KLM
- American Airlines
Delta was by far the best.

[Alex Jones]

BA all the way, am a virtual pilot for them

[Gandalf]

I love BA, Qantas etc as much as the next person.

I really like Buffalo air, (If anybody saw their discovery channel programme you'll get what I'm on about) they operate such a varied, interesting fleet in some extreme conditions.

As for the staff: The flight attendant does virtually everything. You get to your destination, they'll probably jump of and double as a "rampie"

The commitment and family atmosphere is something other airlines should look at recreating in a more conventional way. Interesting point with Buffalo: The odds of lost luggage are small, because it's loaded straight on to the aircraft probably by hand.

[Naue]

BA <3 xl will be forever in my heart

[Harry Smith]

wheres BA? There are so stylish and so perfectly British.

[ChanChan976]

Delta, American, Air Jamaica. Thats it.

[Abyssal Echo]

Southwest or Delta

[thisisben]

In the UK , we have an airline called Thomson , which im very fond of their service, Thomas Cook are also good but the planes are noway near as good ! :) In a recent Thomson one it was a brand new plane with mood lighting :)

[TinyDancer]

Virgin Airlines is the nicest one I've flown

[Cognizant]

VT has a limit to how many options you can post in a poll.

[drew6]

Delta because atlanta is their home base.
It's more like I don't dislike delta and dislike others.

Since I work for an airline, I can't say that they are my favourite, but otherwise I quite like Delta, since their emergence from Chapter 11 and NWA merger. I also had a fondness for British Midland but not so much BA, mainly down to how they treat their FAs.

[niceguy44]

El AL

[joeyboy24]

british airways

[David29]

Delta!

[stev]

Due to having family all over the world I've flown a lot and on a lot of airlines. But the best I'd have to say is Cubana Aviation because when I was 7 I still remember the pilot at the end of the flight letting me go into the cockpit. Plus the staff is always friendly .

[ninja747]

Air New Zealand is by far my favorite

[pineinchneis]

absolutley NOT BA... food is shit, interiors are crap

now, Lufthansa, friendly staff, decent food, nice interiors...

[Cygnus]

I have flown:
-Iberia
-American Airlines
-Continental
-Copa Airlines
-Avianca
-Air Canada
-Vueling
-AeroMexico
-Air France
-Mexicana
-Aires.

The best was Avianca, excellent service.

[KrisKindle]

KLM!! I use KLM every summer to go visit relatives in the Netherlands. I also got to fly on Lufthansa and Air France before, and both were decent (compared to any American airline). Most of the time I only fly internationally to Amsterdam so KLM makes the most sense. My dad has a Delta skymiles card, so we also use Delta to fly locally. I don't think it's anything special though.

[gone123]

Westjet, flown with them plenty and they always have very friendly staff and crew and have never lost our luggage or been late.

[Polski101]

BH Air. One of the nicest airlines of Europe yet Hardly anyone has heard of them - the Same with ALJ. Another great airline I like is Jet2, another European low-cost airline which are good for there longer flights for there legroom on the 757's. BH air operate the A319 and A320, used to operate the Tu-154 (aka Hermus Air). British airways are not the best in my opinion because of there "friendly" service and there "helpfulness" to other passengers and QANTAS due to there horrible 767 interiors, there groundstaff which in my experiences have been useless. Ryanair - well - spend a penny and to spend a penny actually costs about £35. Polskie Linie Lotnicze (LOT Polish Airlines) are nice too with there 767 legroom though we do know they have made mistakes. Wizzair are also pretty nice for Low Cost!

[Thunderstorm]

Come on Pat, you're missing one of the big ones, Jet Blue?!

[PinkFloyd]

I'm flying Delta from Minneapolis Int. AIrpoert to LAX int. airport tomorrow at 7PM.

[juan]

Avianca and Emirates. For Sure

[louis.uk]

I normally travel Thomas Cook or Thompson but if I'm traveling to canada then normally Air Transat because they have the best service that I have experienced

[Mirage]

Virgin is awesome. Wifi, screens on your seats, it's like heaven.

[Mike.325]

Though I hear airlines such as virgin Atlantic, air new Zealand, and qantas are amazing airlines, I have only experienced USAirlines, for they are a hub where I fly out of so they're the best in my heart

[MediaJordan]

Lets start off by saying EasyJet are shocking, its like getting on a bus everyone sits wherever.. no meals and they use A320's. I like using thomas cook - always a comfortable flight and tasty meal with booked seats!!

[Polski101]

Thomas Cook also use A320's - and cram them also to 180 PAX!

Just to let you know ;)

[MediaJordan]

Yeah but easyjet are mainly just a320 and I hate small plane's haha, thomas cook are a bit shitty for legroom etc. but they are pretty reliable and safe!

[Olliemithcrazy]

thomson

[help]

either British Airways, Virgin Atlantic or Little Red

[Malcolm Tucker]

Little Red

I approve.

[nutjob]

The only airlines I've flown on are Air New Zealand, British Airways, Quantas, and Singapore Airlines.

My favourite would have to be Air New Zealand (even though I'm from New Zealand, but they're just so great xD) because the airline crew are nice, the service is great, good inflight entertainment, ect

Singapore Airlines and Quantas were also pretty good.

British Airways was okay.

[Hypers]

American.Once I got upgraded to business class for free on an international flight. It was amazing, I mean there is real ice cream and steak.

[Sweet Smart Smexi]

Qantas is the best

[LunarScorpio]

BA, deffo

[sam927]

My parents fly quite a bit, and sometimes I get to join them so far (from that list) ive flown
-United
-Continental
-American
-KLM (in World Business, did that alone)
-Delta (lots of times, sometimes in Business and sometimes in Economy)
-Air France
-Emirates (done Business, Economy)
-British (Economy and once First)

and I can easily say that Emirates is the top -- the service is just impeccable.

[superstarB]

Southwest

[scott757]

Emirates by far - I am biased though as I flew business class - those T7's are a stunning aircraft!

Also, I rate easyjet very highly, their legroom is quite decent (and at around 6,1 that is important!) and I have flown them 3 times in the last year and the crew were very good in all 3.

I was surprised by ryanair actually, I had quite decent legroom :o and for the length of the flight I have no complaints.

I like flybe and their Dash8's very nice, not the best legroom in the world, but for a short hop I can't complain.

BA, well, it's BA the legroom is great, breakfast on their shuttle flights is also great and well, yeah I liked flying BA (I want to fly for them through the FPP with a lot of luck)

And who can forget Thomas Cook, once again cramped into their 757 heading off to Heraklion, I love the 757 and Heraklion, but the legroom is crap - not fun on the 4 hour flight.

[BpOlson]

Delta

[Chris1993]

I really enjoy flying Southwest. I have never had anything but positive experiences with them. However Delta really hooks military passengers up.

[snowtrax]

jetblue is the best I've flown. All the seats have direct tv with sirius/xm radio, more leg room and all leather seats.

[Emfinite]

WE have a place in Florida so it is Jet Blue or Delta from JFK to Ft Lauderdale..

[Kiel]

CA Caribbean airline //Jamaican airline TWO NAMES ONE AIRLINE Trinidad

[Stronger]

AirTran Airways before Southwest bought them out, now my favorite is Jet Blue.

Ryanair are ok, as long as you like flying because if you don't the safety sticker doesn't help!

[joeyjorulz]

I have flown:
-Qantas
-Singapore Airlines
-Continental
-Emirates
-United
-Air Canada
-China Airways

All were good but Emirates have the best air hostesses.

[scott757]

Hahaha very true!! Some of the things (like that) are a little weird, but they were good enough to get me back home, they're introducing a whole load of new changes this year, hopefully the stick and make themselves more appealing! :yeah:

[drmindfreak]

finnair and lufthansa, no doubts

[Greg1994]

This is a no brainer, United. They have a Hub in Cleveland, which being 30 min from my house, we obviously fly out of there, but also, United flights are a decent price for us and we have tons of options for direct flights. We've never had a problem with them. I've flown Delta and hate it, wasn't impressed by Air France and then Southwest is shit and super unprofessional in my opinion. I know that's their business model and all, but I hate it.

[blackdiamond]

British Airways!

[JIntrepid]

SW. Cheap and on time lol

[mattcallsu]

I choose Lufthansa whenever it's possible

[Polski101]

Well I'm off with Jet2 and Aer Lingus this year, although Ryanairs new changes are good, they don't fly from the UK to the Us or offer good package holidays
