Blog: WalletHub Rates 2016 Best And Worst Airlines
By Jim Donovan
PHILADELPHIA (CBS) -- WalletHub today announced its list of 2016's Best & Worst Airlines in order to help consumers prepare for the busy summer travel season.
While everyone can compare airlines based on price, it's much more difficult to weigh your options when it comes to other aspects of the air travel experience.
WalletHub's report therefore focuses on quantifying those aspects – delays, baggage issues, pet care, passenger comfort and more – in order to help travelers make more-informed decisions.
• Best & Worst Overall: Virgin America (soon to be part of Alaska Airlines) and JetBlue top the list of 2016's best airlines, while United, American and ExpressJet are the worst.
• Most & Least Reliable: Delta is the best airline for avoiding cancellations, delays and mishandled luggage, while ExpressJet and Envoy Air are the worst.
• Most & Least Comfortable: JetBlue offers the most comfortable in-flight experience, while Spirit and Frontier are the least comfortable.
