Which airline do you fly most often?
We had a bad experience last summer on AirCanada and probably won’t ever flight with them again … on the other hand, we fly Southwest all the time and thankfully didn’t fly during their “meltdown (click charts for larger).”

WSJ Jan 2023 Airline Ranking chart

Even after the December 2022 flightmare by Southwest Airlines, they still rank above several other US domestic airlines, 2020-2022according to The Best and Worst Airlines of 2022 in the Wall Street Journal.

According to an article and comparison earlier this year,
“Delta retained its crown by navigating the hurdles better than peers, but was far from perfect. The airline took the top spot in three of the seven categories, down from five in 2021. Its on-time arrival rate of 81.7% beat all competitors, but was still down from 87.9% in 2021 and 83.4% in 2019, the industry’s last normal year.”
