Jan Posted July 5, 2022 Posted July 5, 2022 When I was in the US I flew jetBlue and it was really amazing for a low-cost carrier. Good legroom, free wifi, drinks and snacks. You don’t get any of it in Europe.
zasderfght Posted July 5, 2022 Posted July 5, 2022 I've only flown United, but no complaints. I also predominately flew first class, so keep that in mind. For a vacation, I wouldn't cut costs with things like a nice hotel or a reliable airline like United (and apparently Delta). Just trust me on this one.
Feanor Posted July 5, 2022 Posted July 5, 2022 Emirates >>>> Never had such a pleasant flight experience before
Alldeezy Posted July 6, 2022 Posted July 6, 2022 I can allow afford to fly jetstar Best airline in my country got sold to indina
Mr. Duff Posted July 6, 2022 Posted July 6, 2022 Not familiar with US domestic airlines but I live in Ireland but originally from the Philippines. So when I travel long flights, my favorites are Emirates, Singapore Airlines, Qatar Airways and (at times) Etihad/Turkish. Lufthansa and KLM were some of my worst experiences customer service-wise. I also had my baggage gone when I traveled with British Airways and Ryanair.
EdgeofTeeth Posted July 6, 2022 Posted July 6, 2022 Surprised people are saying Southwest since they've been delay/cancellation galore after the pandemic.

Honestly, my best flying experience recently was with Spirit. Since it's more affordable, it's easier to afford all the extras than it is with other flights. I had some flight attendant that apparently was famous at one point because guests kept taking photos with her but I didn't know her Wait who? did you sneak a picture?

What is the best airline to fly with? Edit: I'm actually flying to Dallas, coming from Florida for a trip. The only thing I'm mainly worried about are bags and bag fees. Whatever airline you pick. Please please please only book on the direct airline website. Do not book on third party sites like Expedia or booking.com Third party sites have the right to not inform you with surprise bag fees or if the airline changes their schedule departure time. Plus if something goes wrong with the flight, most airlines will tell you go back to the third party site since you didn’t book directly from the airline. I work for a US airline, I’ve seen it all. Also, always read everything you book. Airlines have different fare classes for different experiences. If you’re worried about bag fees, Southwest is better since you get two free bags checked… but you might have to do weird connections depending on your destination. Spirit, Frontier, and Allegiant will have you paying for EVERYTHING. Only use them if you’re traveling with a backpack and that’s it. JetBlue, American, United, and Delta are all the same to me.
katykater Posted July 6, 2022 Posted July 6, 2022 Read carefully about the fare class codes, what is included and what are the additional fees. There are airlines better priced for backpackers en airlines better priced for checked bags. Check how they are performing on the route you want to fly on the same hour of the day and day of the week in previous weeks. There are airlines flying almost always on time on a certain route and there are airlines departing and arrived late all the time. This Summer is the worst times to fly. COVID has decimated the amount of people working in aviation. Expect plane crew shortage, airport staff shortage, luggage handling crew shortage, security staff shortage,... Maybe it will be fine next year, after a recession killed off demand.
TaggedGalaxy Posted July 6, 2022 Posted July 6, 2022 When I fly out to Florida a couple times a year I only use Jet Blue because they’re the only airline that flies direct to Florida from my airport, all the others have connecting flights.

Thank you sis, I went with Southwest. I thought about booking through a third-party site but then I decided not to just to be safe.

Their online app, chat box and phone service sucked too. I stayed overnight in Dallas because they couldn’t get their **** together. this happened to me this month. exactly in dallas. 8 hour delay. all they gave us to make up for it was a piddly one-time meal voucher when everything was closed for the next several hours. i have Bad Blood with american now
Gottasadae Posted July 30, 2022 Posted July 30, 2022 Delta is the worst, I always had a problems with them. Now I'm flying mostly with JetBlue and so far I like them.
Jotham Posted July 30, 2022 Posted July 30, 2022 It kinda depends on which airline hubs you have but personally I liked Southwest Airlines and Alaska Airlines.
Mezter Posted July 30, 2022 Posted July 30, 2022 (edited) I love Southwest and Alaska. I work for Frontier. I don’t know a worst airline! Edited July 30, 2022 by Mezter

Save your $$ and fly spirit, bb I've only heard nothing but bad things with spirit

They are both cheap flights but charges you for everything such as bags and other hidden fees? === For my flights I've went with Southwest and Delta(first time flying). Delta is expensive but I'll rather pay more for quality. I'm afraid to try others.
