Your favourite LH Regional airline?

I was just interested in what ranking you would put the LH Regional airlines? Here's my ranking:

1) LH Cityline
2) Augsburg Airways
3) Contact Air
4) Air Dolomiti
5) Eurowings

My last 3 flights on Eurowings were all awful, hence why I've put them last. On my most recent flight, there were no snacks and only water to drink on board because they hadn't loaded the catering (and no, this wasn't during a strike - it was last week!) They didn't even apologise for this, they just announced it as if it was a normal occurrence. (The flight was LHR-DUS if anyone's interested). In my last 3 flights with them, I just found the crew very patronising and rude, they didn't smile or even sound cheerful. They rushed to get you on board and once we landed, they pushed everyone off as fast as they could too.

LH Cityline is my favourite, I've always had excellent service on board and been allowed 2 alcoholic drinks, even in Economy. The staff have always been smiling and very helpful. They once let me have a cockpit tour after we landed at BUD and the pilots were chatting to me for ages. There seem to be quite a few young ladies working for Cityline too, always makes the flight more pleasurable

Augsburg Airways is another good airline, I like the Dash 8's and the service has always been good. The crew have always been nice and offered 2 drinks, albeit only 1 alcoholic.

Contact Air is fine, except I'm not a fan of the ATR42/72s. The service has always been OK, but I had one flight in Business where I was only allowed one alcoholic drink (got told it was a new policy ) Otherwise, they've been fine.

Air Dolomiti is OK too, but I've only flown them once. The aircraft was a little worn and dirty, but they're still better than Eurowings any day. At least the crew were cheerful and helpful.

Anyone else got opinions?
