It's a Star! So obscure even the people at Lima airport couldn't tell us where the gate was, Star*Up tops the list of both most decreipt and most novel airlines... http://www.thoughtsonthings.com/airlines/archives/000243.html Sometimes travelers get the romantic notion that it would be somehow desireable to fly the national airline of the country that they are visiting. Maybe that's OK if you take Air France to Paris or Thai Airways to Bangkok. But... http://www.thoughtsonthings.com/airlines/archives/000242.html Four inches. It is the length of a cell phone. It is two chapsticks end-to-end. It is a little bit more than the width of the widest part of a tie and a little bit less than the width of... http://www.thoughtsonthings.com/airlines/archives/000240.html Everything about the EasyEmpire screams "cheap". Yeah the prices are usually low, but so is the quality of service, the cleanliness, the attitude, and the class. Plus they will nickel & dime you any chance they get. One of the... http://www.thoughtsonthings.com/airlines/archives/000239.html Being from Milwaukee I wind up flying Northwest a lot. But I don't have a lot to say about them. They're a pretty standard US airline, much like Delta. Nothing particularly horrible about them, but nothing to write home about.... http://www.thoughtsonthings.com/airlines/archives/000238.html I'm a fan of foreign airlines. I like the feeling you get when you board that you're already in a different country. Therefore my affection for this airline might be a tad bit biased but still... Top notch airline, brand... http://www.thoughtsonthings.com/airlines/archives/000237.html Alaska is basically a standard US airline, but it has a certain "pacific northwest" mystique about it that proves branding matters. They also have one of the most generous frequent flyer programs in the industry. I once earned 11,000 miles... http://www.thoughtsonthings.com/airlines/archives/000236.html This airline barely exists. In fact their flights are operated by a charter firm called "Astreus". Still, they offer the only reasonable fares to Iceland, from, well anywhere. Otherways a standard low fare airline with pay-for meal service, but friendly... http://www.thoughtsonthings.com/airlines/archives/000234.html Talk about dodgy. I'm not sure these guys are still in business, but last I heard this Peruvian outfit operates a handful of ex-Egypt air 737s and some Fokkers that look like they've been through World War III. They were... http://www.thoughtsonthings.com/airlines/archives/000233.html It's hard to write an all encompassing review of one of the world's largest airlines in a small space, so I'll stick with the facts: Massive airline, flies damn near everywhere to and from Britain. As with all European Airlines,... http://www.thoughtsonthings.com/airlines/archives/000232.html The original "low cost" airline, Southwest is nowhere near as bad as EasyJet and scores highly with me across most points. Southwest is ideal for short flights, especially on the west coast for that Vegas weekend, or a trip up... http://www.thoughtsonthings.com/airlines/archives/000231.html Say it with me: "Midwest Airlines is by far the nicest airline in the United States". Despite massive cutbacks in their level of quality, this statement remains true, but barely. The original Midwest Express Airlines featured the kind of food... http://www.thoughtsonthings.com/airlines/archives/000230.html First and only trip on Delta was taken the other week: Well, let's just say there's nothing horribly wrong with Delta, but there's certainly nothing great about them either. Despite being the 3rd largest airline in the states, the atmosphere... http://www.thoughtsonthings.com/airlines/archives/000229.html Attitude goes a long way. Even though Virgin's planes are getting old and the economy seats stink, this is still a top notch airline. Everything about Virgin screams "hip". Not in an annoying way, but in a very sly, cheeky,...
