Best and worst of One World
Here's a chance to rate OW members you've flown, by class flown.
As quality of service varies from flight to flight, it's not a particularly scientific study, but as of 19 sectors flown over Christmas, here's my nominations (also based on other OW flights during 2003):
BEST F
It's a tie between BA and CX. No runners up, period.
BEST J
An interesting one, depends very much on route, date and crew, but based on most recent LH experience, I'd say:
1. CX (Service, food, comfort)
2. BA (Great cocoon seat design, service and food varies from great to, er, ok)
3. QF (Haven't flown NBC yet so based on older cabin design which lets the side down, but friendly service, ok to good food with some reasonable Aussie wines).
4. AA (Bit of a poor J product, but Yanks understand customer service)
5. AY (Characteristically spartan but efficient and pleasant)
and not even ranked:
LA (Enrique Cueto should spend less time developing luxury condos in Santiago and more time concentrating on the quality of what used to be a world class carrier but now looking pretty poor)
IB (It doesn't matter how many times you fly 'em, in any class, they do their best to make your trip as unpleasant as possible).
So, as for your thoughts?
