Best Airline in the U.S. (2025)

• Delta - Reliable, mostly leaves on time, and an overall smooth experience.
• Alaska- Just chill, nice service, and they treat you like a real human being. Excellent, especially for West Coast travel.
• United - Huge network, great for earning miles. Service is much much improved in the last days.
• JetBlue - Comfortable seats; free Wi-Fi; no sad snacks. What a trip.
• Southwest - No charges for changing, no fees for bags, just really, really casual, and the crew's usually fun.

Got a destination or type in mind (budget, family, business)? I can help narrow it down even more.
