Cathay Pacific. But Singapore Airlines was probably consistently the best airline we ever flew. Havent flown either since the early 80s, so I can say they were "past" airlines. On Wed, May 13, 2020, 3:28 PM Curt Raymond via Mercedes < mercedes@okiebenz.com> wrote: > Speaking of Toronto, the

Yes that is the one. Did you ever fly them? They were great. Cabin stewards poured your wine with a towel draped over their wrist just like a fancy restaurant. No plastic cups etc. Dwight E. Giles Jr. Wickford RI On Wed, May 13, 2020 at 2:58 PM Randy Bennell via Mercedes < mercedes@okiebenz.com>

I loved Pan Am back in the day. Clean and very efficient with great looking stews. Swiss Air was superb, but went TU and rebranded. Not that fond of Braniff. > On May 12, 2020, at 7:40 PM, Kaleb Striplin via Mercedes > wrote: > > What are some of you old timers favorite airlines of the

Northwest once delivered me AND my luggage on the same flight! Could have knocked me over with a feather. Seriously - Jet Blue has the BEST snacks and on-time record, plus they are friendly and professional. Also, I get waived through the line every time I leave Logan Airport. On Wed, May 13,
