The Science (and Snacks) Behind Choosing Your Flight
Tired of spending money on mediocre flights? Choosing the right airline isn’t just about finding the cheapest ticket.
The scientist in me knows that a truly informed decision requires more than just anecdotal evidence.
A great in-flight experience, delicious meals, and attentive customer service can make all the difference to your journey.
The Unfiltered Airline Report Card:
- Top Performer: Air France, EVA Air, & Korean Air – Straight A’s across the board! Taiwan and South Korea showing everyone how it’s done
- Biggest Disappointment: Spirit Airlines – That “F” in customer service isn’t a typo, and “Starving” perfectly describes their food situation
- Most Overrated: Turkish Airlines – Not pictured in my chart but trust me, the hype doesn’t match reality
Why This Airline Data Actually Matters
While my “countless” reviews and ratings might be based on my own (n=1) adventures (and misadventures) in the skies, I’ve revisited my experiences to offer you a unique and hopefully humorous perspective on airline customer experiences.
Find out which might leave you reaching for the emergency barf bag, or like LEVEL airlines, need to polish up their maintenance issues.
All this, delivered with a healthy dose of skepticism and a dash of personal, albeit limited, experience.
This table isn’t just about comfort ratings–it’s about helping you avoid wasting precious hours in customer service hell or arriving at your destination hangry and sleep-deprived.
