Newark, LaGuarida, JFK are the worst any time of year.
And the “Worst Airline” award goes to...
US Air!!!
I suffered four flights with “Skid-Row Airlines” in the last five days.
The planes are so old, they have ashtrays in the seats.
The words uncomfortable, cramped, dreary, smelly, don’t go quite far enough to describe this horrendous enterprise.
Don’t get me started on Useless Air. Some of the worst customer service in the world, among other things.
That's funny you should mention that. I was on a flight with them comming out of Mexico two weeks ago. Two rows ahead of me and across the isle in an Embassadair (I think - 2 rows one side 1 row the other), the overhead utility panel fell open and the passengers were trying to get it pushed back up in place. O2 tubes, wires exposed.... Finally, a pilot or somebody came back, pulled out his keys, used them as a tool to wedge something back together and fixed the panel back in place.
More concerning to me than the plane falling apart was the fact that the pilot seemed to be proficient at fixing it. It made me wonder what else was going on in the cockpit.
If that's not enough for you, the week before, we had to deplane and get another plane from them because a cargo door was broken and would not close properly. I have spoken to my travel assisant about being more selective of my carriers. ;o)
When they pulled out, Southwest moved in and Delta increased their flights. Now we have people from Ohio and even New York driving to Pittsburgh for better air fares.
USeless Air still has a large number of flights here, but I've managed to avoid them all except once (a business flight to Philly where the company picked the airline).
We are blessed with one of the best airports in the country even though we are still under capacity. We have a world class airport mall which was swamped with visitors and shoppers a few days ago when non-ticketed passengers were allowed past security. It went off without a hitch . . . which makes you really wonder why the TSA is even necessary.
Southwest has the rudest staff I’ve ever encountered.
