There is a long list of airlines I avoid---far longer than the list of those that I do fly.Quote:

My first flight was aboard one of the surplus C-47's of TTA (Trans Texas Airways, or more commonly called Tree Top Airlines) from Tyler to the USAF induction center in Dallas...As I recall altitude was limited to a couple of hundred feet because of the broken windows...Trans Caribbean Airways was a small upgrade for most of my deployments across the Atlantic, aboard one of their stretch-8's...No matter what the listed passenger capacity was I remember being told there were over 300 people on board for those flights...My favorite flight was on a Lockheed C-141 Starlifter during a 12 day trip from Holloman AFB in NM back to Spangdahlem AB in West Germany...
These days if I can't drive to where I need to be, then I don't really need to be there...:relax:...Ben
After your election will you prefer a round military chute, or something more maneuverable when you egress Air Force One?...Remember too that the Secret Service will be jumping with you...They have female agents, so maybe a tandem?...:chute:...BenQuote:

The best experiences I've had were on Singapore Air.

After a million miles, I have only been on a plane ONCE (HI) in the last 5 years.:clap:
After another million on a King Air, I agree private is best IF you don't have to pay the bills and manage pilots. :doh: SAS had the best business class, but I've only flown a half dozen brands across the pond.
King Air is a great plane but the door is kind of tight for a tall guy....
