Whichever is cheapest! :lol:

I have used China Airlines and JAL from Honolulu, and both are very good.

From the Marshall Islands, I had little choice. Had to use Continental Micronesia, Kuwait, and Lufthansa. Kuwait Airways and Lufthansa suck!!!

In Thailand, I love flying Thai International Airways. They are a wonderful airline with great service and great looking flight attendants!!! :blush:

Speaking of hot looking flight attendants... Singapore Airlines if by far the best!!! :thumbs::thumbs::thumbs:

I chose Northwest but I also fly Continental. They are partners so I can fly with both of them using my frequent flyer miles between the two. I flew enough in the past year that I will have a free flight to Vancouver for my honey's interview....yeah!

I've been flying with American Airlines, Varig and Tam but I recetly flew with Delta for the very first time. Alghougth the plane wasn't as high tech as the others, their service is simple AMAZING! Their flight attendants are the best flight attendants I have ever dealt with. Their food service is also fast. They don't starve you to death like American Airlines. I flew from Washington DC to Buenos Aires Argentina with one connect at Atlanta. The Atlanta airport is just for Delta.

Last time I flew with American Airlines, I nearly passed out from hunger. I think they gave us a granola bar for a 12 hour flight. I flew from Washington DC to Asuncion Paraguay. I had 2 connections, one at Miami and one at Sao Paulo, Brazil.

I nearly missed the Miami flight because it left EARLY and the flight I was on left late. I had to RUN to catch the flight. There was a big group of us that had to take this connection and I was the only one that made it. My luggage of course didn't make it. My next connection again, left about an hour early, I found out that those who missed the connection in Miami had to wait for the next flight which was 2 days later!! This was Christmas eve mind you. How wonderful to spend Christmas at an airport.

So I arrived in Paraguay, lugageless and rideless (since the flight arrived and hour early). I had nothing to wear for 2 days, just the outfit I flew with. Oh and it was summer in Paraguay (about 110 degrees) and I was in winter clothes.

Varig was a great 1but pricey airline. If you flew with them, by the time you reached your destination, you would probably speak fluent Portuguese. Thank you Varig for teaching me what frango is. If I spoke fluent portuguese, I bet I would have enjoyed it more.

Tam, oh Tam. Sent my luggage to Chile. When I finally got it, it was nearly empty.

I normally use American Airlines. I am tall and they have the legroom. Plus most of their planes have power ports throughout coach which means I can be productive on work flights and bring my netflicks movies with me on the long overseas flights. There is nothing cooler then having everyone around you jealous that your battery isn't dead on hour 6. :)

I REALLY like Continental, but the routes that I need to travel are not convienient for me from Phoenix.

1st and business Class, I like British Airways and Luthansas, when the tickets is coming out of my pocket I love Singapore Airline Best service all around.

That little TV in the Backseat, More leg Room, a stool in the backseat, and Video games where you can play interactively with other passengers specially if you are traveling with children, you can fast foward and rewind the Movies. The games are a little bit out dated but it helps.

I vote Northwest, because they are headquartered here at MSP and I've got the WorldPerks visa. But also for their partner airlines, especially KLM, who will route you through the awesome Schiphol anytime, and ICELANDAIR, which is FABULOUS. Although Keflavik airport is small, there I learned the word 'snyrting' (bathroom) and took a bus to a strange tourist area called the Blue Lagoon where we were able to take mineral baths in a body of water that took my nail polish off. And then take the bus back to the airport for my connecting flight.

Icelandair is actually pretty awful in the air, as they have no space and try to keep you in your seats through water deprivation.

My best experience (for entering from outside the North American continent) was from British Airways.

For entry from Canada, Delta/American (I don't know how those chopf#cks at UAL managed to increase sales in the last quarter); the only possibility of my using Air Canada is if I move to Houston (as that is the only US destination where I can live which is serviced nonstop from Calgary); unfortunately, the Atlantic (not Gulf of Mexico) coast is serviced by Air Canada with a layover at hell's gate--aka "Lester B Pearson" or YYZ!
