Air Berlin, a little more costly than Ryan Air, but book early enough its ok. You get food and the planes in their fleet are more comfortable i find.

Easyjet cos you can choose your own seat and all the seats have enough leg room for me. I'm no giant but I am 6' 3" which is about 184 cm

I like Ryanair, been Irish and all, but i really wish they'd replace the very old 737-200's. Although as far as I know they are currently doing that. I like Easyjet aswell

Easyjet and Flybe have both been good when I've used them.

Well...at least there was an "other" option...

I like WestJet; both reasonable prices and a good flight. I remember the staff being really friendly. And the luggage tags were funny!

I prefer Southwest.

1) Texas company. (I love supporting native Texas compaines.)

2) Low fares. (Especially when compared to the big airlines.)

3) Top-notch service. (Awesome flight attendants - very attentive and professional. Also, you will NEVER forget their flight safety speech [there are many different versions] once you hear one. Hilarious!)

Got to be Ryanair. I fly between the UK and Ireland on them often with no problems at all. Easyjet on the other hand are, in my experience, usually late and far less efficient.

Ryanair usually fly to less conjested airports, not really too familiar with easyjet routes

I like HLX, Hapag-Lloyd. Mainly because they fly from my hometown airport to the city i most often visit, Hamburg. If i was to use the same flight with Ryanair i would have to travel 80 km to an out-in-the-woods airport and the same distance from the destination airport to the outskirts of Hamburg. Both cost me 20 Euro if i book early in advance.

It has to be Air Berlin, they show movies, give you and drink and a nice sandwhich (and im not generally a fan of sandwiches), also they still keep the prices below £30! Though it is cheaper on the European Site!

And speaking of that, why isn't the airline with the biggest intial invested capita (not to mention it's a low-cost airline), leather seats, and 36 channels of DIRECTV® progamming at every seat (for free!), not to mentioned rated number one for customery satisfaction on the list?
