US Airways if at all possible. US is the only airline, by bad luck or whatever, to have stranded me overnight. Their interpretation of "compensation" left a lot to be desired.

Like everyone else, I'd prefer not to fly WN. One other reason is the "Rapid Rewards" program with its rolling 12 month window. It's basically built to "reward" people who prefer to take connecting flights so I've never managed to earn anything.

I'm not a big fan of Alitalia, surprised not to see their name on this list already.

Steve007NY - why VN? I flew them earlier this year and it was fine. They aren't flying the Russian planes anymore....

I'm also surprised at the rap BA is taking. I've flown them now a dozen times (doesn't seem that frequent, I guess) and had great experiences.
