Which Airline Is Really The Best?
Pick up any newspaper or watch any news channel and many times
you will find something about the airline industry. Popular
topics range in how gas prices affect airline prices, the latest
merger or bankruptcy claim, an airline crash or problem with a
flight and even terrorist attempts. Airlines even capture our
attention by running airfare specials in the newspaper and on
TV. The funny thing is, you don't even pay attention to these
advertisements unless you travel often or are planning a trip.
So which airline is the best anyway?
There are a lot of things to take into consideration when
deciding which airline is the best for you. Price is usually a
big factor for most travelers. There are a few things to
consider when thinking about price. If you live near a hub for
an airline you are certain to be able to get better fares. Think
about if it is worth it for you to travel to a larger airport
rather than taking a flight out of the airport that you live 10
minutes away from. If you are only saving about $50.00 it is
probably better to just take a flight from the airport you live
closest to. Remember, you need to think of gas prices and
traffic - both of which are on the rise.
Consider being flexible in your travel days to receive the best
prices. If you can leave mid-week, then you are more likely to
receive a better deal than if you were to fly Thursday - Sunday.
These are the busiest travel days so the airlines take full
advantage of this fact. Airlines also run special deals if you
are more flexible with your departure schedule. This includes
the time that you want to leave too. Early morning flights -
very early morning flights - are often less expensive than
mid-morning or evening flights. Think about rush hour traffic.
If you leave before rush hour in the morning, or after rush hour
in the evening you'll most likely land a better deal.
The best time to book your own flight online is
Tuesday evenings
between 12 and 1 a.m. Airline's computers change their fares at
this point and this is when they are available to the public to
be purchased. If you catch an airline just right, then anyone of
them can be the "best" when it comes to pricing. There isn't any
one airline that consistently has the best prices. Although, the
discount airlines like Air Tran and Jet Blue tend to be cheaper.
But these flights are only available in select areas so many
times you cannot fly these airlines.
Another factor to look at when deciding which airline is the
best is the percent of flights that they have on time. These are
the results of one survey that was conducted:
Hawaiian Air Jet Blue Southwest ATA United Sometimes it's better
to drive than to be stuck on a flight that is delayed. Consider
this on shorter distance flights.
Carry on luggage has become more popular with travelers because
nobody wants to be caught without their clothes and people want
to get off a flight and go - not wait around for their bag to
come round the corner of the luggage carousel. This is how
airlines ranked for lost baggage:
1) Hawaiian Air
2) Jet Blue
3) Southwest
4) Alaska Air
5) Continental
It's also pretty frustrating when you have booked a flight and
you aren't allowed to get on it because someone overbooked the
flight. How does that happen anyway? Here's how the airlines
ranked on passengers that were denied boarding:
Jet Blue Hawaiian Air United American Airlines US Airways So
which airline is the best? Everyone is going to have their
personal opinions. But according to this, you should book a trip
to Hawaii right away or else fly Jet Blue whenever possible.
