Last I heard Cathy was not a virgin as a few have flown with her before    

Sorry could not resist.  

Seems the survey was of over 12 million people so a reasonable statistical sample in anyones language.

Um no Qantas? No Singapore ?

Raymond, the idiot savant, portrayed by Dustin H in Rainman, votes for Quantas.  I vote for Sing.  Sing rocks.    

Your Star Alliance miles are good on Sing.  Their 18 non-stop from Spore to New York ios much better than Thai's non-stop from Bangkok.

If you have 60K Star Alliance miles you can fly:

USA to BKK
BKK to Bali
Bali to USA via Spore

all on one ticket.    

That is because no airline comes remotely close to Qantas safety record. 86 years of flying and 0 fatalities!

I prefer Malaysian Airlines

Charlie: Ray, all airlines have crashed at one time or another, that doesn't mean that they are not safe.

Raymond: QANTAS. QANTAS never crashed.
Charlie: QANTAS?

Raymond: Never crashed.

Charlie: Oh that's gonna do me a lot of good because QANTAS doesn't fly to Los Angeles out of Cincinnati, you have to get to Melbourne! Melbourne, Australia in order to get the plane that flies to Los Angeles!

While googling for the Rainman quote, found out that Qantas has had no jet-era fatalities but in the old days has had a few:

1927 - Mar24 near Tambo in Queensland, a DH-9C with 3 lost
1934 - Nov15 near Longreach, Queensland where 4 were lost
1942 - Feb20 off Brisbane (Belmont??) with a DH-86 where 9 were lost
after control was lost in low cloud
1943 - Apr22 at Port Moresby in a Shorts flying boat, lost control in
an emergency landing - 13 lost
1943 - Nov26 again Port Morseby in a Lodestar, 15 lost
1944 - Oct11 at Rose Bay (SYD) another Shorts. 1 lost, 29 survived.
1951 - Jul16 at Lae, a Drover lost the centre prop and 7 lost.


No fatalities since 1951 (Joe D's final year and Mickey and Willie's rookie yrear) is quite impressive.

My favourite Airline is also my least favourite - My favourite airline is the one taking me to LOS, so next Saturday its Air France, however, on the Jan 6 they immediately become my least favourite airline as they take me home again

[quote]aeroflot? Don't they have like aging aircrafts that's why it's cheap. What's the safety record on aeroflot?[/quote ]
the planes they use for international flights are ok. from norway to russia and vice versa, they use quite old machines, and they are very crummy and small, and very windy(!!) too

i think they only have had a few domestic accidents. all arilines used in international flights have to follow the same rules for safety.

i never worry when i fly, but if there should be an accident when im on it, i would prefer it would be the flight back home.

Yeah, that Aussie version of truth... Anyway, who ever flies Qantas? That's like riding a monorail around Disneyland - where the hell are ya gonna go?

Anyway, Southwest has my vote. A much safer record in fatalities per million miles flown. I don't think anyone is within an order of magnitude of them (actually, anybody with a fatality definitely couldn't be compared, right?). Even this little thing in Chicago - nobody on the plane died.

But, Southwest doesn't go to LOS. Oh well.

I hear Singapore is the best.

Then again, AirGoogle (or whatever Larry and Sergey call it) might be nice. Air Force One is a pretty sweet ride, too.
