Commentary – Airlines Traveled

In addition to traveling to new countries, we also traveled using different airlines. The standard of service for Asian airlines is very different from US domestic airlines

We flew Delta, Japan Airlines, China Airlines, Dragon Airlines, and Cathay Pacific Airlines. On all Asian flights we were served a meal, drinks were free, and we were not charged for any “extras”. The flights were on-time and the cabin crew was excellent.

In the US, the airlines seem determined to make you upset or charge you for every little thing they can. The domestic airlines should just build everything into the standard fare and provide good service like their Asian competitors.
