[Please do not simply go through and choose your favorite airline for each poll. Please actually read each question throughly, and be 100% honest when answering each question. Thanks for making this poll fair!]
[and to repeat, I realized shortly after I made this topic that it isn’t very fair to put Southwest in this comparison. When I realized this though, it was too late to edit the polls. Sorry.]
Ok, so I know this looks like another one of those “what’s your favorite US airline” topics, but I wanted to go a little more in-depth than just that one simple question.
For each category, I’m going to list the four largest US airlines (in order of number of revenue https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/World’s_largest_airlines): American, Delta, United, and Southwest. (Sorry if your favorite US carrier isn’t one of these four.)
Your job is to choose which airline you think is the best choice for each category. Chances are, you haven’t riden on every single one of these airlines. If you have, then report based on past experience. If you haven’t, then give your honest opinion. For most of the questions, I’m not looking for you to put your favorite airline; simply answer as honestly as you can, regardless of whether you dislike the airline or not.
And please, no arguments in the comments. If you’d like to give an explanation to your votes, then go ahead, but please refrain from arguing against other people’s opinions. IFC doesn’t need another argument-filled thread…
