The Ultimate Airline Comparison Guide: Reviews, Restrictions, and Fees for 98 International Airlines
From bags to movies to meals, compare the amenities you get when you fly the most popular airlines.
Published
If you're looking to buy an airline ticket, either for domestic or international travel, you have a lot of options available. And if you're looking for a good airfare deal, it can be tough to pick based on the price of the ticket alone — especially as airlines continue to tack on fees. Plus, sometimes you're faced with airlines you've never even heard of.
To help you out, we've rounded up the 98 airlines you're most likely to run into in your travels, and listed all the details of what you can expect to get for your ticket price. However, there are a lot of caveats here.
Offerings and costs can vary a great deal depending on the type of plane, the specific route and flight duration, and your fare. Different flights on the same airline can have a wide range of baggage allowances, food offerings, and entertainment options that hinge on which flight you're taking. While we've tried to account for all variances, and present information that is accurate as of this writing, take what your airline says as the final word.
