Best - Lufthansa. Flew on it to and from Italy (stopping in Germany both ways), and the staff were SO friendly and extremely fluent in English. Plus, I think they had the best airline food I've ever seen on any flight...they had paninis for crying out loud!

Don't really have a "worst" - I usually fly WestJet and they're always good!

Best: Malaysia Airlines - the staff was so nice, service was great, bunch of free stuff, plenty of movies/tv series/music to choose from and they kept feeding you; everytime I woke up from a nap I had a sandwich in front of me lol.

Norwegian Airlines has the best interior, such comfy seats and the attendants are dressed really nice. It seems really professional. The landing was however the worst I've experienced, it was so rough.

Worst: Primera Air had a few rude male attendants. They were never rude to me personally but to a few other passengers; they basically expected everyone to know about their rutines and got annoyed when people were asking questions. If you've never been on a plane how are you supposed to know everything?! They also got 90% of the taxfree orders messed up, they basically spent the whole flight (3 hours) sorting things out - it was bordering on chaos. When I'm flying I prefer things a bit more calm lol.

The best for me used to be Singapore Airlines but now it is Emirates. They've got great entertainment, good food and more friendly stewardess. Second best is Qatar only for Euro - Doha flights. The tickets are cheap & crew on board are friendly.The last on my list is British Airways. Stewardess were not helpful and my baggage was lost. It took the whole vacation to retrieve my case.

I went to Turkey with Turkish airlines, and the food there was pretty good. The rest, including the service, was pretty bad

WORST EVER- aside from my beef with some other carriers, has to be Dragon Air. They fly a ton of routes in Asia. seats are super tight, food is terrible, terminal in Hong Kong, Shanghai and Bangkok are all shit with not enough seats for people to sit in so there are people lying about all over the floor. Never again!!!

I was really impressed with Angkor Air (Cambodia). For such a small carrier (they only go to like 6 places outside Cambodia) they were so nice and the planes were immaculate! Plus, the hostesses were really kind!

I've taken LAN in almost 80% of my trips, specially inside Peru. The service on board is really good, the atcrafts are really modern and the flights are msotly calms. However the service in land (reservations, check in, puntuality, etc) is the real Shit.
Iberia is crap. Air Madrid was too. Air Europa was not bad considering is a low cost. I don't really remember my experience on AA, but at least I have not a bad memory of it.
Oh! I've just taken the service in Copa (Lima - Guatemal). The service is poor and the aircraft are small and extremly boring (with no TV!)

I went to Vegas this past weekend and went out of my way to ensure that I flew West Jet with each flight because I've been so impressed by their service lately. This time around, though, I thought they were as average as every other airline. Except for the cute flight attendant on my home trip. :p

I cant believe so many of you put your lives in such shabby airlines. I usually fly Transavia, 0 crashes in its history

Best: Emirates :love:
Worst: probably Ryanair but it's not like I expect anything more from them than getting me to my destination which so far they've managed each time :D

When me and my family first flew to Vegas in 2000, we went with TWA. I don't know if they're still on the go.

The food was okay, there was only two films at the front of the plane, both in black and white and no screens on the back of the chairs.
