Airlines to compare (A–Z)
What to check before you book
- Check the free personal item size: bigger cabin bags usually cost extra on low-cost fares.
- Check in online if the airline charges for airport check-in or boarding passes.
- Compare the total price with bags and seats against a full-service fare on the same day.
How this list works
AirConnect does not score airlines from editorial opinion. An airline gets a traveller score here only after at least 5 travellers have reviewed it on AirConnect; airlines with a score are listed first, highest first. The rest are listed A–Z until they have enough reviews. Which airlines appear is a list of major carriers, not a judgement of quality.
