Surprised you ranked Cathay so high [MENTION=153946]SFO777[/MENTION]. I originally forgot to include it in my list; but when I flew it I thought it was pretty average. The lack of wifi, old cabin, and the inconvenient swinging IFE were noticeable flaws. The food was also a bit lackluster. Everything else about the flight was great, though-- I particularly loved the pajamas and amenities.

I'd be open to flying Qatar F if the opportunity presented itself; but I have a very negative impression of the airline right now, having had a terrible time in my past two trips involving it. Onboard they were fine (though I can't believe they fly that dreadful angle-flat 77L product to LAX, what a joke!), but it's the ground services and customer service that was downright incompetent and rude at every step of the way. At one point, I had a phone supervisor literally shouting at me and calling me names. Completely unprofessional!

I've edited my first post to rank the airlines in order of desirability. Also added a couple I had forgotten about for the Todo list.
