AirlineQuality.com rates carriers, airports
Flying is such an ordeal these days that it's better to be armed with information before you take your coach class seat. At AirlineQuality.com, the website of Skytrax, an air-transport industry research company based in Britain, you can find out how the airlines stack up.
What's hot: The site rates airports, airlines, economy seats, lounges, first and business classes and more. It awards stars to airlines based on their quality in a variety of categories. You'll find reviews by actual fliers, signed with their names and dated. And, yes, you can add your own.
What's not: Adding a category for airline safety rankings would be useful.
