The Best and Worst Airlines Flying Today

When it comes to customer satisfaction, many airlines today can only hope to accomplish what would have been considered the bare minimum 20 years ago. With the advent of cheaper flights and increased accessibility worldwide, we’re seeing a new era of airline customer service, focused solely on getting the largest amount of people crammed into an airplane as possible, with no thought given to comfort. It’s become acceptable to bump paying passengers, or to ask families to separate with no reason given.

The next time you’re planning a trip, you may want to look into what airline you fly with, and to make this easier, we’ve written up the six best and worst airlines in the world, so you can make an educated decision.

The Best

1. Qatar Airways

Qatar Airways is the state airline of Qatar, a tiny but powerful country located in the Arabian Peninsula. They fly to over 150 destinations around the world, using their fleet of over 180 different aircraft.

As with many of the luxurious airlines that originate in the Middle East, their first-class cabins are beyond dreamy as their massage-capable seats fully recline and come equipped with feather duvets. However, their economy cabin is also extremely highly rated. In fact, all economy seats come with individual TV screens, and feature programming from their award-winning in-flight entertainment system called Oryx One.
