Best TATL SkyTeam airline
 
Who has the best service in economy on TATL flights? I prefer NWA's IFE (on A330) and CO's food, but I earn miles primarily with DL. I'm about to take a TATL trip and all three airlines are equally priced. Opinions?? Do any of these offer free drinks anymore?

NW offers free drinks. I believe DL might offer one with dinner. CO offers nothing.

AF has free drinks and better food than CO, NW, and DL. I have been told, however, that some people dislike CDG.

I really should learn, not to drink anything while reading. Almost had the drink all over the keyboard from laughing :D

if you leave out CDG and rude FAs, AF is a good choice. Lounges are nice, seats are ok and food/drinks are pretty good. Just watch some low AF fare classes ... they don't earn (m)any miles.

AF is quite nice in F, but lousy seats in Y. Very thin lumpy cushions velcro'ed to an aluminum tube frame. Even AZ has better Y seating TATL. And I'm saying that as the person who shot this photo. (note the masking tape on the armrests).

HA! I have to say that LOS is worse, but at least I know its roof is solid.

I think I'd need knee surgery after crossing an ocean in that bulkhead seat, my God can it get any closer to the wall?

I prefer AF and NW in Y, CO and DL in J based on on board service and meals.

In J, AF with the new seats beats DL with the new seats (at least on the 767-400 I flew MUC-ATL on Monday).

And there is no comparison on the food, even though DL has gotten better (from awful to OK).

I like AF but I hate (HATE) CDG, so it's a hard choice for me. I like AF's HKG-CDG/CDG-JFK route and time, but if only they could fly me through FRA or AMS instead of CDG :D

Seriously, I mock NW often for various reasons (who the hell flies DC-9s?) but NW's 333 is very comfortable in Y and nice in J. I resisted NW for a while on the TransPac routes and found I preferred their J over CO's & DL's by a mile.

So if it was me, I'd fly NW (but since leaving DL and NW's FF programs all my miles go to Flying Blue)

I hands down pick NW over KL, DL, and CO. Free booze TATL, AVOD IFE which is great, (unless on 757) and just happy with it in Y overall.
