Domestic US: tried Frontier for the first time and it was great. I was able to watch Monday Night Football live for 5 bucks because they have a live DirecTV feed (in coach, no less). Southwest -- despite their untested airplanes -- has become a little less nerve-wracking with the numbered positions in boarding groups. No more need to feel like I have to wait in line for two weeks for the second coming of Skynryd when I have a large carry-on. Delta is terrible, domestic and international, with delayed flights and the worst customer service. The little airlines are/were great, like JetBlue and one that had a green theme with yoga music during boarding. Can't remember who they were but that was a nice one, albeit overpriced. Continental gets points for having the BEST pet service, domestic and international.
International to EU/US: Swiss Air is great. I used to love British Airways but they ALWAYS lose my luggage and Heathrow is the worst airport in the universe, with fucking Charles de Gaulle a close second. But I am addicted to their goddamned World Traveler Plus coach upgrade. Fuck luggage!?
Domestic EU: EasyJet, Vueling, Ryanair.... they're all the same, full of wacky Euros who love to bumrush the gates and the seats are not wide enough for my fat American ass.
