What is the best airline to fly on?
I just got back from a trip across the country and I flew Delta. I now realize Delta sucks....BAD. All their employees are RUDE RUDE RUDE!! And someone scheduled a connecting flight where we had only 17 minutes to get to the next gate. Then, they changed that connecting flight without telling us, so when we get to the airport we think we're going to Memphis, and turns out we're going to Minneapolis. So I just want to say, Delta sucks! Next trip I take what airline should I use?

Who booked your flight? Seems that is where the problem originated. I always fly with NWA which is now merging with Delta and I've never had any problems with them.

Personally I like Ted and American Airlines. Like you I have flown with Delta and I agree, Delta is really bad. Ted amd American Airlines are my two favorite because they have great service and get me to my destination ON TIME. I just got back from South Carolina and United delayed my trip by 6 hours! So I would advise you not to go with United. My recommendation: Ted or AA.

Well, not all Delta flights are bad. It depends on the route you are taking. The short flights usually have new flight attendants and the long flights usually have old flight attendants (this is the same for every airline. The best bet is to always fly with the airline with the most flights to your destination with the least amount of stops. This usually insures they are well equipped to deal with any delays, can direct you around the airport better and if they happen to be local to where you are flying - even provide ideas for things to do. Best Bets- Delta- If you are going somewhere Non Stop especially Europe American- If you go to Central/South America alot United- Big on Asia and they have CS agreement with many Asia airlines Singapore Airlines- If going to somewhere they fly Virgin America/Atlantic- Even their subsidiaries are excellent. Alaska Airlines- They seem to have a good rapport with their customers Avoid: Southwest UsAir

Depends where you are flying to and from. My favorite airlines in the US are Southwest Airlines and US Airways. Both are almost always on time, and I have had great experiences with them both.

Southwest. The planes never crashed once.

honestly, just find the cheapest one. there are quite a few sites that you can search that will likely give you the best prices available. check out the website BookMe and you will be able to compare prices on all the reputable travel sites in just a couple minutes. it's very convenient and will save you a bunch of time and money. Also, make sure you buy them online... otherwise they charge much higher fees for phone orders. good luck.

Air Tran is what I find the best. They always have deals, the website is easy to use, and they aren't so strict about unaccompanied minors. American Airlines took out an extra 200 bucks cause I was a minor when airtran lets me fly for normal price. Then the flight attendants were so annoying, they kept talking to me like I was 2. I looked at the fare for Airtran for minors, and even though I am not one, if I was, It would be only $40. Plus American Airlines starves you to death while Airtran gives you food for free. The one time I flew American they made it a big pain in the neck. Airtran is so easy. Oh also Southwest is nice they have good service. And the flight attendants are always really nice, they even sing you a song at the end of your trip. lol

I would like to personally apologize for the inconvenience that service agent caused you. I know how it is sometimes because i've actually seen it with my own eyes. If only i could clone myself; we would never have any hiccups of this kind. I am a Delta employee and even i get treated bad at times when im flying as a non revenue passenger. The famous saying for most of us goes "it takes seconds to lose a customer but months to gain another". If only all of us had that same mentality we would be problem free. Hopefully this wont be your last time taking Delta, and i also hope your next experience will be an enjoyable one.
