If you are a traveler who likes to take cheap vacations, then likely you have had a terrible airline experience. When you are at the mercy of an airline, everyone is bound to have a bad experience at one time or another.

Here we discuss the top three best airlines and the three worst airlines!

Best Airlines

  • Singapore Airlines – This airline is consistently ranked as one of the best in the world. It is lauded for its smooth check in process, friendly and helpful staff and in flight amenities. Seat comfort, blankets and pillows are also rated high on this airline. Overall, you typically cannot go wrong choosing Singapore Airlines for your travel plans.
  • Cathay Pacific Airways – One of the biggest compliments of this airline is the friendliness and helpfulness of the staff. Passengers generally feel that they go above and beyond to make sure your flight is comfortable. On board products are also rated very high so you can be assured of a comfortable flight – no matter where you are going!
  • Malaysia Airlines – Malaysia airlines gets high marks for going throughout the cabin on a regular basis offering snacks and drinks and picking up garbage from guests. Travelers also remark that the cabin staff is top notch as they are enthusiastic and provide efficient service.

Worst Airlines

  • Air Koryo – This State owned airline of North Korea receives poor marks for old aircraft, mediocre food, and cramped seating. In flight entertainment and the cabin presence throughout the flight have also rated low.
  • Afriqiyah Airways – This airline, based in Tripoli Libya has a poor reputation for staff attitude and friendliness, and economy class check in service. However, many travelers state that the cost of flying on this airline is low, and they feel that the lack of service and perks is fine given the low cost fares.
  • Yemen Airways – Low marks have been given to this airline based on poor language abilities of flight staff, lack of presence of cabin crew throughout the flights and the poor check in service. In addition, many passengers have complained of lack of legroom and mediocre food.

When you are paying several hundred dollars or more to fly to various destinations around the world, you should expect a certain level of service. The top three airlines are proof that you can operate an airline with a heightened sense of service and amenities and still be successful. If you are the type of traveler who is wooed by low prices, it is important to remember that service standards will likely be lower as well.
