US Airlines
Survey: Domestic carriers have the worst food, least comfortable seats and rudest flight attendants
The annual survey of frequent fliers by Seatguru.com, the popular online guide to airline seating, doesn't have a lot of highlights for U.S.-based airlines.
U.S. carriers serve the worst food -- if they serve food at all, that is -- and have the least comfortable seats, the survey of 1,600 fliers found.
Meals on American Airlines, United Airlines and US Airways were considered the worst of the bunch.
The best? Singapore Airlines, followed by British Airways, Houston-based Continental Airlines and Air France. Many U.S. carriers have eliminated meal service on domestic flights.
One domestic carrier, JetBlue Airways, did come out on top for the most comfortable economy-class seats, according to the survey, while Singapore Airlines led the field for business class. The least comfortable: American, United and US Airways.
The survey also asked which airline had the rudest flight attendants, and again United, American and US Airways topped the list. Singapore and Southwest airlines were voted as having the most polite attendants.
"Domestic airlines have been making strides in recent years to better compete with international airlines, but it is clear that they still have a ways to go in the eyes of fliers," said Matthew Daimler, founder of Seatguru.com.
Most of the people surveyed flew at least eight times last year.
