Best airlines

Which airline in your place is the best airline to travel in your opinion?

In our place I will choose two:

PAL
Cebu Pacific

Both airlines are good. However, for me, the best airline is the one who can give me the cheaper price among them. :) PAL is more expensive than Cebu Pacific but sometimes it has promotions so it becomes cheaper.

I think Lufthansa is one of

I think Lufthansa is one of the best airlines around. They have modern aircraft and decent service.

Cheap

Sometimes airlines save money by saving on security. When it comes to flying I am not always looking for the absolute cheapest offer ever. I also make sure that I am on a halfway decent airline that is not known for a history of security violations.

BA

I guess the other downside of BA is that Heathrow is their main hub in Europe. As it is right now, I am going to avoid Heathrow. I am going to fly via Amsterdam (hub of KLM) and another major hub in Europe or try to fly direct to wherever I am going.

Did anybody ever fly

Did anybody ever fly Qantas?  I keep remembering a line from a movie (I think it was Rainman) that said "Qantas never crashed".  Don't know if that was true or not, or even if it was true then if it's still true now.  But I remember thinking at the time, if that's true it kind of gives you mixed feelings.  On one hand... they've never crashed!  On the other hand, are they way overdue?  Anyway...... sorry to go off topic, but the airline discussion just made me think of that. :)

BA also has lots of flights

BA also has lots of flights from the other major airport in london Gatwick not many people talk about gatwick. Gatwick is the only airport you can get BA flights to the Caribbean, they also have lots of flights to europe from there also.

LOL. The dice know no memory. If everything happens by chance (and I guess thats what you meant), it doesn't mean they are overdue. Each throw of the dice has the same chance of any of the six numbers, even though over a large number they would all show up with the same chance.

Statistics knows no memory!

I think it may mean they have higher security standards. In this case, screw statistics and go with track record !

I like Lufthansa too, since they have an excellent track record too.
