I've always liked flying Virgin in their 747s, although both Cathay Pacific and Qantas have impressed at times.
Never been in one of those A380s. I like the way the smaller Airbus planes land, they create a cushion of air under the plane that makes landings smoother than Boeings. If they've pulled that off on the A380 then that's well worth a trip one day.
Not on Emirates though. I won't give my money directly to any country that treats gay people like myself as criminals, so the entire UAE and anything from there is off limits.
Singapore Airlines on a A380 to Australia. But then, my flight back was pretty empty and I had an entire row of seats to myself. But the service was top notch and the in-flight entertainment was pretty varied.
Just thought of a now defunct one. Sun Air, back from when I lived in South Africa. They used to bring everyone on board a glass of champagne before take off, and you never had anyone sat next to you unless you were actually travelling together.

Emirates. Saying that, U.S. Airways and American Airlines both made the transatlantic crossing very comfortable.
Suppose we've been lucky - never really had reason to complain about any airline.

I flew out to Australia with them and British Airways on the way back. BA were utter crap by comparison.
Singapore Airlines were good too.
To be honest, I can't recall any airline I've flown with as 'bad'.

All on the long haul to Oz.
Have flown with them for over 20 years with no negative experiences whatsoever.
Flying Virgin for the first time in a few weeks and I'm dreading it
Flown with Cathay Pacific too, again to Australia. Good service, decent overall experience but just not quite as good as my trip with Qantas.
There are obvious exceptions eg. Singapore Airlines, Cathay Pacific etc etc
Been hoping you'd do some more :kitty:
