Continental is my favourite American airline. Then again, it’s not hard to top the likes of Delta or AA!!
The only North American airline that was awarded was Continential for “Best North American Airline” got to love it…
I totally agree with these choices. Cathay has been a perpetual favourite. I’m not surprised at all that North American airlines are not on the list. They’re so backwards when it comes to aviation. The Middle Eastern / Asian airline companies rule the air!
