I'm assuming that if Fox News perceives any non-U.S. airline as the "most storied name in aviation" (which is hard to believe to begin with), it's British Airways.
If you asked me that question far from the scope of this Fox News article, I'm honestly not sure who I'd say. Maybe BA, maybe LH, or maybe a defunct carrier like Pan Am or TWA.
Like the hotel article, there's really nothing to see here. Fluff piece. Like the hotel article, a lot of it is simply "don't be an *ss." Nothing all that insider-ish about it... I guess the coffee thing is new to me: I would have bet that it was the other way around. (People asking for decaf but the airline just serving everybody the regular stuff because it's cheaper.)
