Ok Tell Me Your Favorite Non-US Airline and why you like them

[cufcskim]

Voted BA before I saw the "others" section.



Add in - the Middle East airlines Emirates, Qatari, Jordanian for service

Also add in the major Asian Carirers for the same reasons.

[piercey]

Cathay Pacific - worlds best airline.

[Scalpel4]

I agree! Cathay Hands down, best airline, best seats, HOTTEST stewardesses. 2nd best, EVA. I almost scored a 3 way one one of their flights - if only I'd have had a layover.

I choose Qantas for obvious reasons.

Oh one thing, last time i checked, its wasnt Air Singapore, but Singapore Airlines. I hate when people get it wrong!!!

[Sunshine Airways CEO]

AEROMEXICO!!! I love the livery and their fleet. I'm so in love with their 757s. Too bad they are leaving. I remember walking up to it at Puerto Vallarta.

KLM a true dutchman supports the pride of holland as long as it will still last

[piercey]

true on both counts

I've only been on one international airline, and the flights were HORRIBLE. At least the food made up for it, but still not good enough. I ain't goin' back on that airline again, and my mom can't make me (considering she was on the same flights (obviously)).

[airline55]

Well, I have only been on two international airlines, BA and Aer Lingus.

BA - nice planes, but one of the WORST trips I have ever been on. I missed two flights because of them (on the same trip) and to help out, they put the five of us up in some rat hole of a hotel in Philidelphia:mad:

Aer Lingus- They have my vote, but just by default, I was only on for 45 min. (London - DUB) FOUR EURO FOR A CANDY BAR @&!?!

[StephenM]

Ok, that is expensive! I just LOVE those EIN breakfasts!

I did a long enough trip a few years back:

DUB - LHR (EIN A321) LHR - YYZ (ACA B744Combi) YYZ-EWR (ACA DC-9)
EWR - YYZ (ACA DC-9) [7 day stay] YYZ - LHR (BAW B744) LHR - DUB (EIN A321)

ACA were great, got to visit the flight deck (as they called it) but the PTV's on the BAW B744 was a real bonus. But to top it all off, when we got on the EIN A321 at LHR smelling the cooked Irish breakfast while still on the ground was great after coming across the atlantic. That was back in the days when you had Premier class on European routes aswell as the BAe 146's and lovely free EIN food!

I voted for BAW [For their great 744's] since EIN were not there!

[deltafan]

Virgin!! I love the cool interiors. Flown on them twice. Once from LHR-SFO back in 1996 on a 747-200 and the other was in October 2003 on an A340-600. Got Upper Class too. On demand meals!!

qantas is ok, they have problems with their props & 146's
I personally prefer Virgin/Pacifc blue

[DevSilv7]

Virgin's the best in my opinion. They were the most friendly and cheerful and they had the best service for the money. Their new Upper Class suite is very hard to beat

[EuropAir]

Where's SN Brussels, Europe's best airline as shown in Skytrax

[Crazy764]

Lufthansa, only because I got to visit the flightdeck of a 744 at 37,000 feet. :D

[ECAM]

British Airways because I'm British and I love their livery:D

Plus they use airbusses:P

[wdleiser]

Lufthansa because they allowed me to take off and land in the flightdeck and because i get cheapo biz and first class seats because my stepmom is the head purser on all of her flights
