Talk to any Canadian that travels all the time. They avoid air Canada like the plague. It’s by far the worst airline in the world. Strand you in places, giving you ticket vouchers instead of tickets, cancelling flight because their not 100% full blaming it on weather so there no refund. No customer complaint line. Loose baggage all the time too.
Bear in mind that flight delay/on-time metrics can be gamed. If your flight actually taxis for takeoff 20 minutes late but lands on time, there was extra time built into the flight schedule. If the plane pulls away from the jet way on time, that starts the flight crew's pay (yay!) But it can appear to be an on-time departure, even if the plane sits just inches from the jet way with the door closed for several minutes.
@pack hackers, can you guys do a review on best Business Travel bags? Something that pairs well with a carry-on. Laptop, jacket, chargers, cables, snacks and water bottle holder 32oz? I’ve been searching the interwebs but not much luck so, I thought I would ask the best!
Maybe you should change the title to , The Best Airlines to fly with in 2024 ( IN or from AMERICA ) your missing out Airlines like Emirates and other international airlines , just mentioning Singapore and KLM is hardly a large list
They are an American channel if u don't know that that's ur fault Emirates and Etihad don't fly to as many cities therefore they are useless. And they have weird flight time But that isn't their fault countries do this to limit people from using Etihad and emirates it's a form of monopolizing other airlines
My favorite airlines (international) is ANA. They are awesome. Great customer service. I feel like they're the gold standard of airlines. I always come back to the US and walk in a US airline and I'm bummed out. US airlines suck haha.
I totally agree with you, @Dracomies! I flew with ANA through Japan and had an amazing experience in *ECONOMY* . The service and quality were unparalleled from start to finish. Boarding made so much more sense, from window to aisle and front to back, so there were no hiccups or traffic when taking a seat. The flight attendants even memorized my name, drink, and food preferences, which made the whole experience feel so personalized. The difference compared to US airlines was like night and day (Sorry, Delta, even though you’re the best we have). ANA is more than just a flight; it’s an experience before you even experience where you’re going. They truly set the gold standard for international travel!🏆
ANA and JAL are absolutely amazing. Right there with Singapore Airlines. My top four would be Singapore, ANA, JAL and Cathay. ...with ANA and Singapore fighting for top spot. American Carriers have improved a lot. Been very impressed with Delta ...Air Canada is currently a disgrace on APAC flights...better domestically but still needs to up their service big time.
I like Alaskan Airlines. TheAlaskan awards system is easy to understand and I get great value from them. I got stuck once because of storm. My first flight was with Alaskan and then I was flying American. Alaskan Airlines basically said "oh yah, things happen. Lets rebook you for free" American Airlines charged me 150 USD for rebooking.
Singapore is excellent, though actually not out of the ordinary for Asian airlines (except for those those out of mainland China). JAL, ANA, Korean Air, Cathay Pacific, etc. are all also great to fly on. I usually fly with JAL, which is great, until you book a flight that is a code-share operated by AA. The difference when flying on a US airline is stark. I suppose it's not so bad on flights within the US which are relatively short, but when you're flying long-haul flights, these differences become more than just annoyances.
Singapore is great and I have flown with them many times. However, it can be a long haul from the West Coast of the US to Singapore. They were ideal when I was living in Australia, though. :). Japan Airlines breaks routes from the US to Asia down into more manageable segments and offers a great Economy product.
Used to fly Delta from SEA to the US and back and managed to earn points for a free RT ticket from NYC to Florida. It was nice and the food and services were okay. I've been trying out other airlines but if I were given the budget, I think I would go back to flying with Delta.
Muslim meal in Singapore airlines is not delicious. The seats are not comfy. The staffs are not bad, not the best. Transit airport changi is wonderful. So I dont feel they are the best for me. Maybe for Business they might be. But I am a cheap economy girlie
I absolutely loved Singapore airlines when I flew from Shanghai to London. I'd missed my flight out of Shanghai on a different airline, but Singapore got me out of China within hours. My flight from Singapore to London had been cancelled, so they put me up in an awesome hotel with a free 5 min international phone call. When I flew to London, I got 3 seats to myself, drinks every 20 min, ice cream, and a packet with socks, toothbrush, toothpaste, eye mask, and other amenities. My other fav has been Hawaiian airlines, although they're not quite as awesome as they used to be.
I fly mainly from my local (small) airport so my choices are limited. I pretty much stick with American. I've had good luck with them and their international flights have better leg room. One time I got to fly on Iceland Air and their customer service was spectacular.
Thank you for your time and posting. So, you go to a restaurant to enjoy a nice steak. You ask for it to be rare, but a third of the time the steak is well done. But that is acceptable. :) Most comfortable; snacks, wifi, and extra legroom. What do snacks and wifi have to do with comfort?

And they have grumpy old people as flight attendant
I just love how you Americans talk as though it's strange to check bags on domestic flights! Come to Australia and you'll shocked...
Announced 6/18/24: Blue Basic on JetBlue will allow complimentary carry-on bag starting September 6.
That is a game-changer! 🤙

True but those types of “delays” to takeoff and returning are typically ATC issues moreso than the airlines.
I know one thing it certainly isn’t American Airlines. Quality of a budget airline with the price of a premium. It’s awful
🧐🧐🧐
I will take Southwest over any other. I love their checked bag policy and they treat passengers of size like human beings.
I was surprised that southwest didn't make the cut but probably because they cancelled a lot of flights last year.
Jetblue's Basic fare will soon allow for 2 carry-ons instead of one this fall. :-))
That's huge 👀

@@PackHacker wow!!

Same here. Used to fly United but it's dirty and the food sucks. Now I just fly ANA when I can.
I like Alaskan Airlines. TheAlaskan awards system is easy to understand and I get great value from them.

Allegiant has the best benefits for veterans. I love that.
Delta is awesome when your hub is Detroit. Silver Medallion here, working on getting more miles with them :D
Keep grinding 😃
Frontier and Spirit suck!!!
❤
We love PackHacker!!
Air Canada is in my book went to Japan, direct flight it was a very nice flight. 14 hours
Singapore is excellent, though actually not out of the ordinary for Asian airlines (except for those those out of mainland China). JAL, ANA, Korean Air, Cathay Pacific, etc. are all also great to fly on. I usually fly with JAL, which is great, until you book a flight that is a code-share operated by AA.

Dope video, but the title’s confusing…ya’ll didn’t share any airlines to actually NOT fly with 😂
😂😂😂
Alaska also has a "wine flies free" thing.
🧐🧐🧐
Air Canada is the worst

Spirit has terrible customer service. I would never fly them.
In fairness they have to deal with the worst passengers as well.
Try flying Vietjet
My worst flight experiences include Delta & Philippine Airlines 😂
Better experiences include: ANA, Singapore Air, Virgin A, Air NZ, Qantas, Aegean Air, Cathay, even Scoot 💛!
NOT UNITED
Why? 🧐
Embraerrrr 🎉🎉🎉
American Airlines is more tolerable. You get what you pay for. If you pay for a budget, don’t be surprised later

Out of the 4 categories Spirit scored better than JetBlue but JetBlue was placed at number 2?
Jet Blue is awful. It’s much closer to Spirit than Delta
Jet Blue is great. United blows.
I love Hawaiian Airlines a lot. I have had wonderful experiences when traveling to Hawaii (4 times the last year). Alaska is great also.

I’m MVP Gold on Alaska they’re not as good as they used to be but compared to some of the other ones I’ve flown they’re pretty good.
Thanks for sharing your insights! 🤙
You would be absolutely correct with that statement Robert.
Aw, has PH succumb to the “silly RUclips thumbnail face”?
😃😳😉🧐😂🤙
Do Alaska Airlines planes come with doors...or is than an added option???
