What's The Worst Airline?


Flying can be bad enough without things like fees, frequent delays, cramped seats, terrible food, and expensive tickets. We've talked about some great airlines in the past, but as usual for Evil Week, this time we want the worst of the bunch. Which airlines do you think are the worst in the skies?

You know the airlines we're talking about—the ones where you'd rather spend more money than fly with them, or you quietly freak and sigh when your company books you on a long haul flight with them. Whether it's for high prices, terrible fees, cattle car seating, or horrible customer service, sound off in the discussion below!

The call for contenders is closed! To see which of your nominees got enough support to get to the top five, head over to our Hive Five feature, the five worst airlines. Don't forget to cast your vote for the all-out winner!

Let's hear your vote in the discussions below! To cast your vote, follow these guidelines:

  1. Follow this format for your vote, including the bold print. If you don't, it won't be counted:

  2. A PHOTO OR LOGO OF THE WORST AIRLINE

  3. Vote: [WORST AIRLINE]

  4. Why: Why is this airline just the worst? Maybe they have crazy fees for just about everything, or their customer service is notoriously awful. Maybe their ticket prices are horrible, or their flights are almost universally uncomfortable. Make your case!

  5. Don't duplicate nominations! Instead, if someone's nominated your pick, star (recommend) it to give it a boost, and reply with your story instead.

  6. Please don't leave non-entry, direct comments on this post. They'll just get pushed down. Save your stories for others' submissions!

If you're not sure what we mean, just check out the nominations by our writers below. We'll give you a head start, and they should all be in the proper format, so you can just follow our lead.
