I think the only civilian, commercial airline i've ever flown on was United.

Expenses were all government paid; I've been upgraded to business class a couple times, and even First class once; and i've only been delayed once due to a warning light failure

Airliners or Airlines??

Ive flown with three that are no longer around i think although Air 2000 might be in a different guise.

Air Europe - just when they were getting big, a bit before they went bang, in new 737's!
Orion - Great airline, now swallowed up into some non descript company i think- spent most of the outbound in the cockpit!
Air 2000 - When they were newish, with red colours, great flight, new 757. Bucks fizz and everything!

The only time I have ever flown in a Passenger Jet, was once, for my Company, in the early 1960's, from Birmingham to Glasgow and back, in a British Airways Comet?...

...not a memorable experience... :(...!

I never was impressed with Jet-propelled Cigar Tubes, and purposely avoid them!.. ;)...!

I could never understand Folks fascination with the noisy, paraffin-spewing, things?... >:(...!

Paul...G-BPLF... ;).... 8-)....!

...that's opened another can of worms?... ;D...!

I wouldove always thought that they would be a one of those airliners with horrible service. I was wrong  ;D

I wonder how US Airways service is, now they dont serve peanuts  ;D

I wish Southwest had the builtintotheseat tvs...but other than that SWA is #1 for the price 8-)



Well do they even have long flights..?  :-? I live in California and ive seen there commercial for a flight out of Oakland to Los Angeles which is about an hour and 20 mins.


Yea, I've flown them from Houston to Chicago, Houston to West Palm Beach...Just look at a route map on their website.

I fly Southwest more than anything, back and forth from school 4 times this school year.  Always loved their service, and I've been flying with them for almost my whole life.

I only really ever fly southwest and continental...and I've always liked both.  Flew on United once, don't really remember it all that well.  I think I also flew on US Air once, don't remember that one either.
