Default Best airline you've ever flown on.

I recently went to Malaysia and flew with MAS. I was very impressed by the service of the flight, in spite of flying in the air for 19+ hours.

What's your top 3 best airline?

1) Singapore Airlines
2) Malaysian Airlines
3) Cathay Pacific

any of the "Asian" Airlines are pretty sweet and make airlines like Air Canada, etc. look like **** boxes.

My personal Favorites are Cathay Pacific and Singapore Airlines...Korean wasn't too bad as well

BA
Emirates
Singapore

Mix and match those 3, but they are easily the top 3 in F/J class

Y class, might be a different story. I personally enjoy Westjet for domestic NA/Transborder - I love the leather seats and TV - and the legroom works for me at 6'2".

KLM Royal Dutch Airlines, on a Christmas Day. Awesome trans-atlantic service. But that was a few years ago, don't know how they stack up now.

Air France was the most memorable for serving Duck a l'Orange to us losers in coach. Mighty impressive meal.

Another vote for South African Airways. 12 hours passed like nothing, the service was so good.

Domestically, it's hard to top WestJet.

Not hating, but are those your top 3 or the only 3 because SkyService is a charter airline - and at 30-31" seat pitch I wouldnt exactly call their service or experience a treat.

Thats just my opinion though.

Cathay Pacific
Bangkok Airways
Seim Reap Airways

In North America i still would pick Westjet or Southwest over AirCanada, America West (now merged with US airways(?)), Alaska, or NWA. Don't know the rest.... but they ALL fall way way way behind the asian airlines.

Skyservice is easily the worst airline ever. However by virtue of default makes my top 3.... Should have clarified I have only flown on 3 airlines. I have vowed to never fly Skyservice again.

1)CP or Canadian Airlines
3)Westjet
4)Delta

Air Canada is the worst in Customer Service I have ever flown. I don't know if they are better now as I avoid them when ever possible. Always got the feeling they were doing me a favour for flying me instead of the reverse.

Southwest! Ugh, not really but I've flown that for so long I can't remember the other ones. Air Canada was OK when I flew as a youngster in the early and mid 90's.

I agree with all the Asian airlines mentioned so far. One not mentioned yet is Eva Airlines. They have an intermediate class that is often, marginally more expensive than econo-class but has 1st class-like seating, service, entertainment. I think I paid an extra $50 for this, HKG to YVR one way.
