I took United Airlines for my flight to Japan. I highly recommend them because of customer service and comfort. This was my first time taking this airline and it was my first choice because at the time it was the least expensive option. I’ve flown a few other airlines so I thought I’d give you a breakdown of what I thought of each one. I’ll rate each one on a 5 point scale overall based on my experiences. 1 being poor, 5 being excellent.
United Airlines - My rating: 5/5
I’ve flown with this airline one time.
Exit row gave me tons of leg room. Personal TV screen to watch movies was nice. Adjustable head rest was awesome! I was comfortable. I was not bored. Flight attendants were curtius and helpful. The ticket counter was friendly as well. Food was okay.
US Airways - My rating: 4/5
I’ve flown with this airline a few times.
Overall decent. First class seats are great. Leather, lots of room. Friendly staff.
Northwest Airlines - My rating: 3/5
I’ve flown with this airline many many times.
Customer service is nice, but the seats are pretty ghetto. Fabric is usually busted up, feels like you’re on a plane they never clean or update. First class is basically the busted up economy class with more leg room. It’s better to save the money and get an economy exit row seat. They’ve always been on time for me though which is nice. The international flight from Thailand sucked because you’re stuck in a busted up seat for hours.
ATA Airlines -My rating: 3/5
I’ve flown with this airline a few times.
Cheap as hell! Same satisfaction as NWA but a fraction of the cost!
Frontier Airlines - My rating: 3/5
I’ve flown with this airline once.
Average. Comparable to ATA Airlines.
Southwest Airlines -My rating:2/5
I’ve flown with this airline a few times.
Flight attendents are a bit strange and too talkative when I take this ariline (which is way early or way late in the day). Also about 50% of the time there are some drunk obnoxious passengers that get out of control with yelling and screaming and having a good time.
