Today, The Points Guy "” a brand that specializes in air travel, frequent flyer miles and points "” released the 2018 Best Airlines Report. Coming on the heels of a news-worthy year for aviation and travel in general ( anyone remember when United pulled the guy off the plane? ), this second-annual report ranks the best American airlines, as well as the worst airlines in America.
Here, we reveal the overall list, which was compiled using a strategic methodology based on data and a set of 10 criteria in categories ranging from price (airfare, baggage, change fees) to headaches (lost baggage, involuntary bumps). Then we share the rankings in each individual area. We also chat with The Points Guy himself, CEO/founder Brian Kelly, about the results. Whether you’re an aviation geek or just love to hate the airlines, his comments might surprise you.
