We've all had bad experiences on flights and the more you travel the more complaints you may have. I've got a whole list of companies I refuse to fly with again. Their flights may be a little cheaper, but at what cost? Here's my No Fly List:
American Airlines: I had a near-death experience with this airline! One of the engines blew and the cabin filled with smoke. The breathing masks fell from the roof as the plane fell hundreds of feet. We emergency landed and had to jump off the wing of the plane. As we waited for hours to be taken to the nearest aiprort to wait for a new plane, they treated us like cattle. All of our belongings stayed on the plane, leaving me with no money. They refused to feed us and didn't compensate us for our trauma or time. They also happen to have the smallest, most cramped cabins in the industry.
Iberia: This Spanish airline is so outdated. Their website doesn't work properly, they overcharge for excess baggage, and they have the worst in-flight entertainment! I was stuck on an international flight for 12 hours with 1 TV for the whole cabin, which played tv shows and movies from the 80s that I never even heard of. Can you say bootleg?
Easy Jet: They're baggage policies are just plain ridiculous. A hand purse is considered a carry-on so if you want to take another bag on you better stuff your purse inside. The staff have the worst attitudes.
United: I swear the seats on these flights are so tightly crammed in, the leg room is non-existent. Torture for an international flight. Some of the planes have the shared TVs, some have individual, but it's always a risk.
Enough complaining. Here are some of my favorite airlines that I strongly recommend:
Lufthansa: They give free beer out like it's water!
Delta/Air France: Great in-flight entertainment, leather seats
British Airways: Great in-flight entertainment, chipper flight attendants
Book wisely, make your next flight a little more comfortable~
