1.JFK
2.Never been to any
3.Never been to Asia, but I would say HKG.
4.Bermuda, or for spotting, SXM
5 I have a hard time choosing between DL, NW, or WN. I love all 3.
6.Last good meal I had inflight was on Pan Am, back in '88 or so. I like how WN gives awayw extra snacks and soft drinks when they have leftovers on a flight.
7.Can't really say, since I am always staring out the window on a flight.
8. Pan Am (pre-1991), but as of late, WN
9. WN
10.WN F/As always cracking jokes left and right
11.South African Advertising the A340
12. CRJ
13. Boeing 737-700
14. Boeing 747

1. EWR -- CO terminal. I like it, it's new, it's organized, it's better than most old run down places in the US
2. AMS
3. HKG hands down  Smile
4. I'd imagine SXM? Never been though
5. I'd have to say KLM is pretty nice and unique
6. Um, JAL F class
7. Really depends on what's on offer that day! It varies a lot IMO. I have weird preferences
8. Anything not on a US airline.
9. Isn't this the same as 8?
10. It must run in the family, but almost every captain's name is Mr. Speaking
11. Don't pay attention, and don't watch TV anymore
12. Taking 777 from TPE to HKG landing at night with the underbelly cam on  Smile
13. 744
14. They all suck -- flights are inhumanly long on those.

Sure, we're concerned for our lives. Just not as concerned as saving 9 bucks on a roundtrip to Ft. Myers.

  • Never been to any
  • Never been to any (I'd say SMX, though)
  • Aer Lingus -You can't beat the Shamrock
  • Air France
  • Virgin Atlantic ~or~ Emirates (Never been on them, but I hear they're great)
  • Air France
  • I have no idea for this one (Air France or Singapore possibly)
  • Aer Lingus (I love the little animated character)
  • British Caledonian: I Wish They All Could Be Caledonian
  • A32X
  • B757 (-200 or -300. They both are great)
  • Either the B773ER ~or~ the A345

    I'm sure if I had the chance to fly BA, they would have been on this list.


Just...fly.
