Any asian airline with asian hostesses are the best. Any foreign airline with "other" hostesses are the worst. Just my opinion after 9 years of International travel...

I see this is all trending in a similar direction. The one time I got bounced from UA to JAL I loved the service. Lufthansa and American have been OK. SABINA is gone so that leaves UA at the bottom of the heap. USAir isn't much better but so far they have never served the kids moldy food. UA has. I recommend avoiding them.

I've had my best experiences on Singapore, Malaysia and Cathay. Northwest is hands down the worst. Back when I used to fly regularly between Japan and Canada, I would avoid Northworst like the plague despite the fact that the fares were often significantly cheaper than other airlines.

The best might be that the big fat fight attendants, who can barely get through the isles, might make good floatation cushions.

LMAO!!!

Any Asian Airline has quality customer service in my opinion. I`ve flown JAL, Cathay, Singapore, Malaysian, Korean, Thai - all great.

The worst. I flew United once, and couldn`t wait to get out of that tube. The "waitresses" need to distinguish between the concepts of "service", which comes with a smile, and "servitude", which rhymes with attitude - thankfully it was a short flight Narita to Incheon.

But, the absolute worst, Pakistan International Air. I dont even know where to begin. Never again, Id rather break my fingers with a hammer than fly that airline again.

Air NZ are like United: they keep old witches forever who spill drinks are abrupt and too fat for the job. Hate flying AirNZ.

Singapore are excellent and I have only good things to say about ANA.

Ryan Air - got prison guard type once, I was afraid to make eye contact type. Luckily it was a 1 Hour flight and no real service needed ( or provided )

Cathay Pacific has always got my thumbs up. And even my national carrier, Qantas, do well most of the time despite the joke that Qantas stands for Quick And Nasty Typically Australian Service.

Most Asian Airlines I have flown with are usually good-Malaysian is good except for the ghastly uniforms the males have to wear.

North West are atrocious. The FAs looked like they would be more at home working in a diner. And rude.....they are very rude.

Add for a light hearted look at FAs..... try looking on You Tube at Pam An - an Australian comedienne- hilarious!

Asian Airlines are the best, I like the extra space you get with Korean Airlines compared to Cathay and they have these cool headrests. Malaysian and Singapore have the best food.American airlines are the worst. And surprisingly, the airline with the most beautiful flight attendants and uniforms is Atlasjet Airlines from Turkey. Japanese airlines don't provide much services anymore. Getting just one drink with peanuts on a 4 hour domestic flight is just bad service.

The Asian airlines are by far the best, with Cathay narrowly winning due to the great attitude of their attendants. Though if anyone saw this month's FHM, Air Asia's FA's look like contenders.

Best non-Asian airline: Virgin

Worst: Northwest. Generally unpleasant and think of the money they could save in fuel costs by having a Cathay crew.

Best: JAL

They make an effort, and in my experience they help out families travelling with young kids.

Worst: Air New Zealand

They are ALWAYS in a group, in the galley, with the curtains closed, laughing and chatting. They made me feel like I was interrupting them when I asked for some milk for our little one. Lazy sods.

Whenever booking flights, check out Singapore or Malaysia. Having said that Vietnam airlines have new planes and the FA's were very courteous. Can't go wrong.

As a Canadian, I have to admit Air Canada is the absolute worse, followed by any major American airline and I've flown most. Air China was good sometimes, awful others. I've always had good treatment flying JAL...

Northworst. The name says it all.

Has anyone ever flown Aeroflot?
