    I was thinking about the Special Air Service
    Thought you were

    Saying that, Scandinavian Air Services are a :sexface: airline.

    Gosh, why does everyone keep giving negative rating to my post? The airlines I flew weren't that bad. And my wish-list is just like you guys too >.<

    hmm :/ my flight was just terrible. it wasn't also connected to air bridge, we had to take bus and walk. and that is the international flight, Airbus A330. food was just crap at that time and crew too, they are old and so inefficient.
    Maybe you had a particularly bad experience with them then, my ex-colleague flew with them all the time between Heathrow and Bangkok, and she raves about them. When I flew with them, the aircraft was half empty, which probably helps, as the crew aren't so busy.

    ohh no, i have to fly a lot with thai since its like the hub to my country lol. we dont have much flights landing here so we just have to fly transit. pleasant experiences were simply countable. at least, theres the rough landing.

    Why is that, what's so special about the airline.

    Well they're apparently 'Europe's most punctual airline'

    Cabin crew were always friendly the five times I've flown with them and they serve pretty decent food.

    They also fly the MD-80 which you don't see often

    Easy Jet (actually really good - used them a ton and only ever had one bad flight - and that was because of snow.. but they did leave us at Birmingham airport all night, no shops for food, no information.. freezing cold.. parked 2 people in wheelchairs in between 2 sets of automatic doors so they would not close.. freezing everyone ot death.. landed at about midnight.. got on a bus at 5am...... oh this was 2 days before xmas too.. on the plus side we did get to the uk, as no flights had even left munich for 4 days.. downside.. i had a friend fly from munich to birmingham at the same time i should have left.. she had no problems, but i would use and have used them again)

    Emirates (best one), Lufthansa (their in flight entertainment is still shocking, even on the A380), KLM, SAS, Turkish, Cathay Pacific, Air France, Virgin Atlantic, Easyjet, Jet2, Thomas Cook, TUIFly, First Choice
    plus Air China, China Southern, China Eastern, Hainan Airlines and Sichuan Airlines for domestic flights

    Been on the Emirates and Lufthansa A380s, Emirates is definitely better lol

    Wanna go on Singapore Airlines probably
    What are China Eastern like? I'm flying with them long haul in a few weeks.

    Don't know, never counted ... The most frequent ones are Lufthansa, British Airways and Ryanair. In fact I liked the local ones the most - ASky and Kenya Airways (both between Freetown, Sierra Leone and Accra, Ghana). ASky served Donauwellen (a typical German cake) :perv:

    They were alright, but I've only been short haul with them. Most Chinese airlines are decent, except Spring Airlines who are *******s
