Ryanair are a shower of sh!t. Despite bad press, I've never had a bad or even delayed flight with Easyjet. For merely commuting, I like Monarch. But the best airlines I have ever flown with are British Airways (Heathrow to Providenciales via Nassau) and Air Canada (Heathrow to Toronto). Fabulous service.
JJ - I went on TAP Air Portugal once. That was back in the days when a food plate was standard on every flight. I had a stale bread roll, a slice of cheese soaked in olive oil and a salad that looked like it had been boxed a month earlier. Disgusting.
I havent been a regular flier for some years now but when I was my favourite long haul flight ever was London- Los Angeles return on British Caledondian.Bright happy wild tartan livery and the female flight attendants wore kilted uniform.....very attractive
American Airlines were good and so was Laker
Pan Am and TWA were truly awful,bland and dull
