Top Trends
  • United
    WalletHub recently released its rankings of the United States’ largest airlines and regional carriers, comparing them across 15 metrics including cancellation rates, in-flight comfort and costs. Did your favorite airline make the top spot? © Mvogel | Dreamstime.com
  • United
    In seventh place, United Airlines performed well across the board, but just shy of its competition. Additionally, United Airlines’ reliability dropped since last year, with more cancellations, delays, mishandled luggage and/or denied boardings. © Richair | Dreamstime.com
  • Hawaiian
    Hawaiian Airlines takes sixth, but next year’s rankings could tell a different story. According to the data, the airline’s cost of airfare in cents per mile dropped over the last year, from $13.09 in 2018 to $12.36 in 2019. © Dejjf82 | Dreamstime.com
  • ExpressJet
    Next is ExpressJet Airlines. If the name isn’t familiar, it’s because ExpressJet currently operates as United Express. Specializing in regional routes and small aircraft, ExpressJet ranked for its pet friendliness, with no incidents this year. © Tom Samworth | Dreamstime.com
  • Spirit Airlines
    In fourth place, Spirit Airlines is one of the best for budget flyers, coming in second to Frontier Airlines in cost of airfare in cents per miles. Spirit Airlines flights are, on average, $5.13 per mile. © Ken Wolter | Dreamstime.com

  • Alaska Airlines
    Taking the top spot for the best U.S. airline, Alaska Airlines is the safest in the United States, with additional nods for pet friendliness, relative affordability, comfort and reliability. © Valentin Armianu | Dreamstime.com
