Well, this is a question that can be interesting to many of us here I suppose, notably those from overseas that connect on US airlines domestically to fly to their final destination in the USA.

For me, it doesn't really matter whether I use UA, AA, CO, US, DL to reach my destination as their schedules are all fairly similar through their respective hubs, but I was just wondering which is the 'best' to use as a ZED traveller?

I know some airlines in the US charge extra for quite a few things, whereas others don't, so, which airline should be top of the list? And which bottom, if I don't want to be paying for my luggage, my ear phone, my soft drink and what else on the second leg?

Thanks!
