In the last 30 days, I've flown international on 4 airlines... United, Alaska, China Eastern, and Korean Air.
United was easily the worst, Korean was easily the best.
China Eastern wasn't great either - yet it still had better customer service, amenities, and a more comfortable seat and landing.
- zem 9y agokorean is also the only airline i've ever flown where i thought the food was good (not just "good for airline food", which a handful of other airlines do manage, but good as in i'd have been happy to eat it at any time)
- slmrnz 9y agoi'd add Swiss Airlines to that list too! sadly you don't really have much choice of destination if you're flying Swiss
- rangibaby 9y agoI thought Malaysia Airlines had pretty good food.
- toomuchtodo 9y agoSingapore Air has quality meals IMHO.
- shard 9y agoFrom my experience, Dubai Air has the best food I've ever had on an airplane, bar none. Korean Air and Asiana also have good food, as long as you choose the Korean meal. Their western meals are sometimes hit-or-miss.
- madcaptenor 9y agoTurkish also has good food.
- wahern 9y agoI don't think it's coincidental that Korean is rarely the cheapest ticket. And they have the worst frequent flyer rewards program.[1] They were one of the latest to have a co-branded credit card, I think. In other words, they focus on a consistent, quality product, without trying to hide the ball. I think they've begun adding more frequent-flyer frills, which I expect to be detrimental to overall quality. I don't doubt it'll boost revenue. They have a long way to fall and hopefully they'll stop short of mimicking the typical industry model. [1] They're part of SkyMiles but given their point valuations I never found it worthwhile to upgrade. It's been a few years since I cared to check, though.
