Best/Worst airline you have travelled with?
The best customer service, confort and food must have been Air France. I could feel the seriousness, refinement and experiece/friendliness of the people.
The worst must be Air Comet (from Argentina/Spain): I was on an 11 hour flight between South America and Europe: The plane looked unsafe, they would give us a really restricted amount of food and one drink, and you'd need to pay for more. They would search bags and take food away before people got on the plane, the seats were damaged and of course they would not be friendly at all!

Re: Best/Worst airline you have travelled with?
I've flown with so many that they've blended into one. I remember Malaysian being good.
Iberia lost my bags for 3 or 4 days so I didn't like them! Easyjet are great considering how cheap they are. I flew to Sydney on China Eastern and considering they have no TVs it was quite hard and the planes are quite old and shakey.

I flew with Thompson to Egypt and I hated it! Not a big fan of EasyJet though!
I love flying with BA and TAP

Best : British Airways.
Worst: United Airlines.
I have flown with so many airlines, and I usually like them all. As long as they get me to my final destination, I am happy. But United Airlines is certainly the worst airline ever. I remember on a flight from Mexico to Los Angeles, the seat where I was supposed to sit on was covered in vomit!

Aloha Airlines:
WAS my favorite, but they went out of business
(Warm chocolate chip cookies with ice cold milk and free mai tais!)
Southwest Airlines: I love them but I also don't really like them...
I don't like that they have a 'cattle call', non-assigned seating process.
There is sometimes an advantage to the 'cattle call', non-assigned seating process.
The attendants are sometimes in shorts and VERY casually dressed (personally don't have a problem with that, but they aren't really taken 'professionally').
One of the few airlines that still has peanuts as their snacks
United Airlines:
Is awesome when you're in Business/First class!
Economy and even Economy Plus is okay.

Re: Best/Worst airline you have travelled with?
Tiger Airways (a domestic Australian airline) was the worst ever...
I think Thai Airways is quite good and also Air Pacific was quite good.
I have heard that Singapore Airlines has won awards as the best airline though!

Worst: United Airlines
Best: AeroMexico
I've never been on a flight with United that I felt was clean...or on time.
Aeromexico has the best customer service I've had to deal with yet. They are always really helpful and nice, I just wish they would fly more places!

Best: WestJet. Friendly staff each time I've flown with them, the snacks are tasty, comfortable seats, never felt unsafe. Flew with them from Calgary to Hamilton, ON and back several times.
Worst: Jazz Air. Tiny planes, understaffed, not very comfortable. Flew with them from Calgary to Seattle.

I fly with KLM quite often, and I like them a lot. Especially when your plane is late, and your connecting one is about to depart without you, you don't have to worry. KLM is good about waiting up.

Funny enough, I had to stay a couple of hours in Amsterdam when flying with KLM because someone died on board... But they gave us toiletry bags and a 4* hotel to sleep in

What you don't like Jazz?! *shock horror....its like an adventure every flight, I always feel like the stressed out staff is about to knife someone.
but it may just be the Calgary/Seattle route, not a fan.- VivaMGMVE

Well, you do have a point. The knifings did make the flight very interesting. The loss of blood wasn't too fun, but I guess I'm just not looking at the bright side. lol.

I've flown with Continental a million times too, there always great.
TBH, i don't have any bad expierences

My! Thank God it never happened with me (touches wood). I am stressed out about flying without that additional entertainment.
By the way, th best food I have ever eaten on plane was on Siberian airlines S7. I take this route back home to Tomsk in Russia, and their food is the best ever (and I am not talking about business class). So, if you want to eat something nice on board, take a flight to Sibria

Re: Best/Worst airline you have travelled with?
Best: Virgin... woah I felt like I was flying first class, they couldn't do enough for you and piled you up with non stop goodies, food and drink, and don't even get me started on the amazing TV games console thing they had!
Worst: Air Berlin... they hated us English and pretty much pretended they only knew German when we needed to speak to them! The time in Berlin was the same too.

Re: Best/Worst airline you have travelled with?
I really like Aeromexico and British Airways. They give you free booze, free headphones, comfy seats, free food, and free movies, shows, and music during the flight! British Airways also gave me a little pack with slipper socks, a toothbrush and toothpaste, a new, clean blanket, and an eye cover- and I was in coach! Aeromexico is super inexpensive, too!
Worst airline would have to be Alaska- I have never been on an airline that cancels or delays flights as often as they do, even short two-hour flights are always behind. They also charge for pretty much everything!

Best: Iberia. I've never had any problems with them and have always been quite nice. I went to New York (from Madrid) with them and the flight was fantastic (when we came back the flight was terrible but due to turbulences).
Worst: Air Europa. Not that it was bad at all, but I don't have good memories either.

Re: Best/Worst airline you have travelled with?
I actually really love flying Air Canada overseas... I know alot of ppl hate Air Canada (and normally, so do I, and always take West Jet for domestic, Canadian flights), but when I've flown to Europe with AC, I really loved it. They give you free booze, and have a great entertainment system.
Worst is any American Airline, like United or American Air. Awful.
