What Airline Do You Fly?

[Big Papa Zone 93]

Firstly, let me apologise for not including an "other" option in the choice of carrier - my bad. Please specify any other airline you might use.

For me, it's gotta be Northwest. The reason for this is two-fold: they have very reasonable prices; and the in-flight entertainment system is top notch (they have that "on demand" system in coach that most airlines reserve for business class).

United sucks. Period. They don't like me, and I don't like them.

Northwest gave me good service the couple of times I flew them.

For going to the Philippines, it's Philippine Airlines, because I hate flying, and they give the most direct service, which means the shortest flight. For the 30 or 40 dollars I would save by a less direct route, it simply ain't worth it!

Ditto. I've used them 3 times and on EVERY occasion my luggage hasn't turned up at the same time as me. Never again. It's a shame, because their "Economy Plus" seating is very reasonably priced, and makes a world of difference in terms of leg-room for a big guy like me.

who ever is cheapest at the time.

Delta.

They may not run the most up to date fleet, but their service is top notch, their flights are always (for me) on time and the cabin crew have always been really nice.

I also use BA when possible.

For outside of North America travel, British Airways (recommended by Bro. Joe and Sis. Lily Daniel, as well as their son John Daniel)--and also best option for travel to India from BWI!

(also, as I've had bad-to-catastrophic experiences flying with US-based airlines off the continent....)

For domestic-US travel (also US to Calgary), Delta or American--due to United charging unreasonably, few other US-based airlines flying to Calgary and Air-Canada being almost useless (no nonstops from where I've been located).

Well, if they say so.

When I fly to the Charlotte, I always fly US Airways because it's the only airline that flies directly to CLT. I am happy with their service too. It's usually €200 more expensive, but I am willing to pay that rather than having a 4 hrs. stopover in Chicago or elswhere.

When I fly to other places outside Europe, I try to combine good service, flight times and price. To Australia for example, I flew Quantas once - worst long distance flight ever. From then on, I only flew Emirates to Australia and they are great and offer good prices.

In Europe I don't care what eairline I fly with, since nothing is longer than a max. of 4 hours.

SAS, KLM, Lufthansa, or British Airways to Europe.

In the USA, Northwest or Alaska.

[Zee Bee 61]

Delta and Northwest because I accumulate frequent flier miles with them.

Delta is also the only airline that has direct flights to Ghana...can't beat that

I think you ought to include a selection of whether flights are predominantly national or international, it makes a difference as to carrier selection, for a multitude of reasons.

For short haul, I would always choose the cheapest airline. Anyone can put up with cramped, overcrowded planes for 3-5 hours without too much discomfort.

For long haul, I used to choose KLM because they flew out of my local (regional) airport (connecting via Amsterdam) and their entertainment selection was second to none (the food was "interesting"). As I get older, I now prefer the much more comfortable and luxurious American Airlines seating, the food is better than most others. the entertainment is very good, the service is great.

I am always searching for the cheapest deal so I really have no preference. Still, somehow I always end up flying with US Airways.
