Which are your 5 favourite airlines - and why?

[Bundy Bear]

In no particular order I don’t fly enough

1. Emirates, decent food and entertainment and good global reach
2. JAL pleasant the times I have flown them
3. Singapore seem to have kept a good standard
4. Jetblue, leg room and entertainment wins for me and inflight internet
5. Virgin Australia who else is going to keep Qantas accountable and economy X

Openflights shows me I’ve flown on 110 carriers, so:

TK
Then, the next four I’m due to fly with.
(except JQ)

I have not flown on anywhere near the number of airlines as most posters but so far my favourites - sometimes based on which ones I can get FF award seats:-

• SQ
• TG
• QR
• EY
• And RIP Canadian Pacific

I don't think I have ever flown on 5 airlines!

Actually in the last 20 years its been, in order (only 4)

EK (INT) by necessity. Great lounges.
Qantas (INT and DOM), by necessity and Golden Handcuffs
Air NZ (DOM) by necessity, equal with
Jetstar (NZ DOM and only one flight Aussie DOM)
Easyjet

OOPS, 5 after all

When I think about it, several others before that, and before most airlines became budget conscious and I a Frequent Flier.

TK
QR
SQ
EK
TG

I have been lucky enough to fly J in all of these although the last 3 were pre-pandemic when it was easier to find awards and EK didn't have crazy co-payments.

The question assumes that members would have flown more than 5 airlines. Does that mean if you don't have at least 5 airlines you shouldn't even reply to this thread?

In no particular order:

1. Asiana - great food and service
2. JAL - great all round and my favourite
3. Singapore - for all the reasons people have been saying above
4. Cathay (not flown since COVID)
5. Emirates - some people don't love the "bling"; my wife and I do!

All relate to J or F

 

[Beano]

1. It doesn’t

2. What?

1. Yes, off course, you don't actually have to have flown on an airline for it to be a favourite!
2. Apologies, anyone can reply to any thread. I did.
