Which airline(or airlines) do you use

I have never flown and never intend to. If I ever do, it will because I'm knocked out ( remember Mr. T ) I have a tremendous fear of flying and heights. I guess I am just a big chicken. You can't even get me on a roller coaster.

When I fly, I am not necessarily "stuck" with one airline. It just depends on where I am going and the cheapest/best possible way (or a compromise between the two.

I have flown on many occasions US Airways and American Airlines, and not so much American Airlines. I have also flown Lufthansa (don't recomend it) and Lot Polish.

 

Mr. Edwards,

ROFLOL. My pastor is a big guy, too. He must be at least 6'5" and ----uh, he is just a big guy. We have flown together to the Ukraine as a team, and the first year I went with him, we had to fly Lufthansa, plane with really small cubicle seats. His knees touched the seat in front and when he let the tray down, it reclined on his belly, and the food kept sliding off. He had to throw the food in his mouth because he hardly had room to bend his arm to reach his mouth. LOL.

I am not that small of a person, either, and on one leg of either that flight or a flight the next year, he and I shared a row, and one of our other team members sat between us. Poor Mike was wedged in--He said he never sat on the seat he was so wedged. ROFLOL.

 

Short domestic flights, Southwest.
Longer domestic flights, American.
Overseas going east, British Airways.
Overseas going west, Korean Air or Philippines Airlines.

 

You would drive to Columbia from Atlanta just to get a cheaper flight? Certainly the flight can't be that much cheaper than renting a car? And then driving 4 to five hours.

When will you be in Columbia? What conference?

 

whichever one will get me to where I'm going without trying to send me to Mexico. (that really happened. I was going to Nevis West Indies, and the airline was convinced that I was going to Mexico and wouldn't let me get past the front desk because I was 17 and Mexicon "wouldn't let me in without a letter from my father" (mom was there) It took us 20 minutes to clue them in that Mexico was nowhere near where I was trying to go

 

Hi guys
I will tell you what airline not to fly - Garuda, Indonesia's national carrier.

A few years ago I was travelling from Sydney to Jakarta. The place was hours late leaving. After finally getting away there was a terrible "grating" noise everytime the plan moved its flaps. About an hour into the flight they had to turn back to Sydney for minor repairs (while dumping all excess fuel).

After landing again we didnt hearing anything from an airline rep for six hours and this was to tell us the flight was cancelled until the following morning.

The following morning I ran into a Qantas technician laughing about what was going on. After asking him what the story was he mentions that the plane was purchased from Air Mexico which apparently went broke. They purchased the plane at a discount because it didnt have the normal branded engines (eg it was Pratt & Whitney on an Airbus I think). Anyway there were no parts for the plane in Australia so they had to be flown in from the US. (apparently this was cheaper than chartering a new plane). Anyway we finally got away without any further incident.

However, on the return flight three days later I was recounting the tale to a fellow passanger as we were boarding. Just after finishing we look out the window and guess what the name on the front of the plane was - you guessed it " Mexico City"!!

IT IS AMAZING HOW COMFORTING PRAYER CAN BE!!!!!

 

United was my favorite until just recently.

Now it's JetBlue. New planes, direct flights and in-flight DirectTV.

I have a frequent flyer account with all major airlines - sometimes there is only one carrier that has desirable flights (time, location, price, etc.).

 

I use Southwest and American normally. Being close to the DFW area it only makes sense. Southwest is probably my favorite. Their service so far has been top notch.

 

I will go for the lowest fare, so I never know what airline until I am actually booking the trip. In many cases, though, Southwest is a good alternative flying from Dallas Love Field instead of DFW. If not for the insidious 'Wright Amendment,' Southwest would probably be the majority of my flights. That was a smart move in '73-'74 as Southwest was only a fledgling and chose to continue to use Love Field while other commercial airlines moved to DFW. But it is a pile of rubbish for SW to have the best fare, for example, from Dallas to Phoenix, but to make that route one must book separate flights and have to claim and recheck baggage in El Paso, Albuquerque, Lubbock, or somewhere.

 

Delta. Platinum Medallion Member unfortunately. When you live just south of ATL your pretty much a Delta customer if you travel for a living.

Maybe this is another topic but what is your least favorite airport?

For me its got to be Dulles and those elevated people movers.

I used to fly United exclusively when I lived in California, mainly because my mother worked for United for many years as a flight attendant. Since I moved to Florida over 14 years ago, I have switched to fly exclusively with Delta! I flew NorthWORST airlines last week and it re-confirmed why I fly with Delta. Plus I finally made Silver-Medallion last year!
