Well, they are not reliable for international flight. They cancelled my flight just 2 hours before the departing time !! When I asked them what happened, why the cancelled the flight, the answer was: lack of CREW !! :wacko: The domestic one that I took from LAX to MSP was small and noisy, with unhelpful stewardesses.

Too bad that SQ doesn't have the O'Hare flight anymore, but they have one that goes to JFK besides LAX and SFO.

Does the JFK flight go Atlantic route (which kills some of the convenience by going through Europe) or Pacific?

They have direct flight from Singapore to JFK (I think it's around 20 hrs or so ?? ), some days they have the ones that go through Europe.

Our Experiences:

American: Cant say enough about them. They've been great for us and definately the most convienient. Its just a short one hour hop from Omaha to Chicago then around 8 hours Chicago to London Heathrow. Legroom has been the best I've experienced, food pretty good and the entertainment.

Delta: Very Cramped and a bad route for us Omaha-Atlanta-London Gatwick. No individual TVs just a couple of drop down ones way ahead that I couldnt see and the earphones didnt work either. Horrible.

Continental: THE WORST. Very rude staff, charged us $200 for a changed flight although we supplied a medical letter and the fee should have been waived. Never responded to complaint. Messed up our tickets so we couldn't sit together. Food very bad, only served drinks twice on a 10 hour flight, very dehydrated and hubby got really ill as he's diabetic. Would NEVER fly with them again despite the bonus miles and saving $150 over American.

British Airways: Have never flown with them personally, but my parents did when they met us in Chicago after Christmas. BA lost their luggage on the way there AND on the way back!!!! Almost ruined the trip.

Virgin Atlantic: I've heard great things about them, but they dont fly anywhere near where we are so sadly never got use them.

Not sure whether I'll use BA or Air India for my next trip to India (maybe next year?)--but it definitely will not be any US-based carrier, as I've had experiences which range from bad (Atlanta-Gatwick, Brussels-Atlanta) to surviving hell (32 years ago, Delhi to JFK on Pan-Am--an airline which was already on its way to bankruptcy well before Lockerbie due to such "service") from these.

American has the flights we need in a more direct way. Luis is faithful so he gets the miles. ;)

I might not fly AA when I go for good though, have been looking around and finding cheaper stuff. :D

Copa Airlines has a flight through Panama that is at least 300 dollars cheaper. Amen!
