If AS ups its game from 3-star territory, I might feel differently.
It amazes me how people believe Skytrax's ratings. I find B6's planes to be quite filthy for the most part, IFE malfunctions constantly, some crews can be just as rude as those of legacy airlines, and overall, offering blue chips doesn't make them a 4-star airline.
I do like the Mint product, but that's only offered on a few routes.
As B6 adds seats to its aircraft fleet and no longer offers complimentary checked luggage, they resemble 3-star airlines more and more.
