Recommended Airlines Updated on 11th October 2011

Hi viewers,

I have created this list based solely on personal experience and should only be used as a guideline. Flights have their bad and good services, so its all down to how lucky you are, when encountering different set of crews. I will be focusing more on the inflight service such as PTV, food and seat comfort. Hope this will help you decide better on which airline you are flying on. If there are airlines that you are flying on, not listed below, feel free to drop me a mail at charlesryan@live.com or tweet me at @CharlesRyanteo for information you need. I am doing this for my passion of civil airliners and nothing more. Some airlines, I have flown a long time ago, might not be mentioned. :)
