Okay, I would like to preface this with- any sarcasm, or "Jokey" comments, PLEASE refrain from, as I am doing my best to inquire about something very important.  

unless you have no bags and don't care when, or if, you get where you're going.

I just flew it one way to Chicago and the other way was Southwest. World of difference. The only reason I did it was because the time was suitable for me. They have terrible track record of being late.  But at the same time they are dirt cheap. So if money is issue for you, go ahead. They do try to upsell you, so at the end of the day it may not be as cheap as advertised.  Right before landing they also tried to sell everyone on their Mastercard...lol..

Who needs bags and who the hell cares when we leave?

and I liked them very much.

For one thing, their flights always took off and arrived on time, something that United (Or as I call them, Untied.) never seems to have figured out.

I only carried an overnight bag, and they also charge for carrying on a bag, but I also used to get the upgraded seat which was pretty cheap, about $50 or so, and you get a very comfortable seat with lots of leg room and they would let me put my bag in the overhead bin for no extra charge.

where the seats don't recline back?They just stay in one position.
I know plenty of people were pissed off with Spirit Airlines when trying to arrive into vegas a week ago for the fight.Flights delayed they missed the whole fight majority of the people's reason for coming to vegas.
I have cousin who uses Spirit frequently she says flights are cheap but they charge for everything.
I fly only United Airlines.

No bag problems for me as I carry on.  Also do what you do with the seats...I can't sit in anyone's economy without my legs being crumpled.  So I'll upgrade for the legroom.  

I just buy my ticket with my seats...that's the whole show.

That's the real problem.

I've read a lot of books about flying.  
  It would be great if  I could afford to travel by airline, I'm not afraid of heights
     
   When I travel out of town I take the bus, where people are sociable and easy to meet, unlike, from what I've heard, obnoxious jerks flying first class.  
   
   Why do airlines  make regular people walk by all those stars when boarding I'll never know.
 If I was in charge I'd put first class snobs in the back where they belong.  
 
  A big  advantage to bus travel, you will never return to the station and miss an appointment at your destination because some second rate first class drunk, belittled a flight matron.
 
If I could afford to  fly, I'd find an airline that does not  sell alcohol, like Egypt Air.  
   
   
     

Frontier has fresh baked cookies... Oh hush, just throw the shit up. Flew to Denver with Frontier and it was the most memorable flight ever, except for the Pilot at Southwest asking if anyone was going to do a lap dance. Fun times. My two ATFs. Hate Delta because of the ATL hub... hate US because of the Charlotte Hub... after 5 pm on a connecting weekend flight, you're not going anywhere. That is from the staff.

MDW is the only way to fly into Chicago. ORD blows goats. And Spirit does too. The only airline that didn't offer cash refunds for flights canceled due to 911. I got hosed. Fuck them.

every so often on the plane if you are flying some distance.
Especially if you have been traveling all day on connecting flights.
After flying into O'Hare you need a drink that airport is crazy.lol

Used to be you had better odds getting out of Midway than O'Hare, but I don't know if that's still true.

I have no issues bringing my own drink and snack on board.  I won't pay a nickel for anything other than my airfare.

EOM

and/or drinks a couple of little travel bottles never hurt anyone
Connecting flights are such a pain.

If Southwest flies from the town you're in to the town you're going to, look no further. Fares are competitive. They don't nickel and dime. The crews have a sense of humor. And their on time numbers are good.

so I can make pizza/burgers/sandwiches and sell them to the passengers.  Even considered a microwave so I can pop popcorn.  You know that no one on that flight will be able to resist freshly popped popcorn with butter  LOL

If so, I'd suggest United since Chicago is their "hub".  And if you're not a United fan, perhaps Delta might also work well -- especially if you are flying to one of their "hubs".  I think both fly to more than 300 different cities.  I have also flown Southwest many times and Spirit a few times.  Of these, I've had much better luck with Southwest.  In my experience, Spirit and most other discount-type airlines are not nearly as nice as United or Delta... but they are typically cheaper.

... for all the perks.  It doesn't make them the "best" airline, but the best for me (they also control my home airport) and overall they do a good job.

Even saw a replica of "Butch" O'Hare's F4F.  Lots of food choices for lunch.  I also love the bathrooms with the automated toilet seat covers.  I love Chicago.

I've got tons of miles with them and they've been treating me quite well.  So far this year I've flown for free round trip First Class to Costa Rica and back, then to a midwest city rendezvous with an adorable little fuck buddy.  All flights were on time and well run.  One rough landing though, but I lived.

where you most frequently travel from and to.

I've had great luck with all three.  I fly 3X per year from the east coast to the west coast and have never had a problem with any of them.  FYI, I've found that the cheapest domestic fares are found on Tuesdays and Wednesdays, and usually it is best to get them about 45 days ahead of time.  Inside a month and the prices start to climb.  Good luck and happy travels.  

I travel a lot. Domestically I stick with Southwest if they go where I need to be. No fee surprises, they usually leave and arrive on time, their planes are newer and clean, and their web site is easy to navigate. When traveling coast to coast I will do United, American or Delta depending on availability of nonstop flights and times. I consistently have a better experience on Southwest, though.  

with a splash of OJ is always good

How you beeeeeen. The board was meh without some personality. Are you back for awhile?

Preferred because they are the two dominant airlines out of Newark Liberty that fly to destinations of interest.  Frequent Flyer miles add up, and allow for price reductions or first class upgrades every so often.  Works for me.

depends on where you are based out of and how much you fly. Since you're form Chicago, AA and United make the most sense, unless you want to do Southwest. AA has a MUCH better frequent flyer program than United. Also, now US Air has joined with AA, giving you lots more scheduling options. And if you can get one of their credit cards you can get a lot of bonus miles. I have upgraded to business class on every AA flight I have taken for over a year

Just kidding, of course.

I also like Virgin, but they fly to very few cities, but when I do go to the left coast, I try to fly on them.

I was Platinum on Continental the year they were bought out by United and watched a decent airline turn into a total piece of shit in a single year. I still have 60,000 miles with United, enough for a free first class ticket to Latin America, but I still won't fly them, even for free.

I do fly AA quite a bit, living in Dallas doesn't give me a lot of choices, although I do still fly Delta sometimes, I am close to a million miles with Delta so I do like to maintain status with them.

And for those people too cheap to fly first class, good for you. I think about you the same way as I think of people who like to fuck old fat broads, "More hotties for me" As much as I fly I absolutely HATE to fly coach and out of the  hundred or so legs I fly on an average year, I doubt more than 2-3 are in the "back of the bus"

I ended up going with American Airlines because I got a really really sweet deal of 147 round trip.  

Very well noted cheapskate and consumer affairs advisor. If a cheapskate like him won't fly with Spirit, I would avoid them (and I do).  They even charge for carry-on bags.  

it was an offer for a gangbang.  

Yes, Preppie and I expect you to fly me to Boston soon so hurry up. Gonna take you to prom lol.
