Better flying experience from smaller
international airlines
Just came across an interesting article in this past Friday's edition of the Wall Street Journal, Weekend section. Unfortunately, I cannot reproduce it for copyright reasons--but you can access it online if you are a WSJ subscriber:

The article provides feedback on the smaller international airlines that are often cheaper than the major US carriers to Europe, Asia, South America and Pacific Islands--and frequently provide a better flying experience with coach class features such as more legroom, seatback TV sets, sandwiches placed on a table for snacking whenever, special hotel rates if you want to stay over in their hub cities. Most are tied into at least one major US frequent flyer program.
Many are names that may be new to you--but their safety records are flawless. The featured airlines are Air Tahiti Nui, Air Pacific, Emirates, Eva, Icelandair, Asiana, BWIA West Indies, Czech and Lan Chile.
Until next time -- Bon Voyage!
