21st Freddie Awards.... Load Of Bogwash.

[Zpete]

This came down 3 hours ago.

Comments welcome, seems to me money was involved, Thai style.

One example, Japan/Pacific/Asia/Australia AirlineJapan/Pacific/Asia/Australia Airline: VIRGIN BLUE.

Have you have flown with them, I would put them below One-2-GO, maybe that is insulting One-2-Go.

One-2-Go offers a snack, albeit peanuts and cordial......LOL.....FREE

They bumped passengers off a flight in NZ and NEVER offered help to get another........<deleted>.

Their seating is sardine class.

I do agree with Continental's One Pass, been a member since it began.

Why not let it be. Everything's not a conspiracy.

[foxxx]

virgin blue? yeah they are great, i'd rank them above any other airline I've ever flown with (and i used to fly with VB every week for work).

always helped me, fantastic customer service... i can check in online and print out my ticket - no line to wait in at the airport, just straight to the gate.

guess i'm not an a__hole of a customer?

Exactly. Let it be. Just because you don't agree does not mean it isn't so. When I read the list there are some I don't agree with myself, including Etihad as best web site and I work for that carrier. It always seems to me the site is down more often than it is up, but that could be just when I check. While for others it worked fine. When it is working it is quite user friendly though.
