US Airways and Delta are comparable. JetBlue provides slightly better service IMHO, but doesn't serve many cities.

JetBlue is great. Wonderful service and TV's on the back of every seat.

USAir and Delta will get you where you need to go, but I'll take JetBlue over them in a heartbeat.

I'm a big Jetblue fan -- if you can possibly wing it, go with them. The quality and service is far superior.

Years ago I flew Delta almost exclusively. This was when I was living in GA, near Delta's Atlanta hub. Service was decent, price not too bad, and fairly comfortable planes (or maybe I just got used to them and they seemed comfortable), but from comments on here Delta's gone downhill in terms of service. I'd probably still fly them, mainly because I have so many FF miles with them still.

US Airways is a main player here in Richmond, and DW Lauri and I have flown them a couple of times. Price about comparable to Delta, but DW and I haven't had a decent flight with them yet.

DW Lauri recently flew on JetBlue and had a great flight. Comfortable planes and great service, she said she'd definitely recommend them.

Another JetBlue fan here. I've flown Delta and it was okay, never flown US Airways. We've always had great service with JetBlue, and the whole family loves having the TVs!

US airways is the way I travel the most as I am near both their Las Vegas and Phoenix Hubs (what used to be America West before the merger). I have always liked America West and at least from these hubs I still like their use of Airbus planes and service here in the west.

That being said, I recently flew into PHL where US Airways has always had a major east coast hub before the merger and I did not like the flight and customer service in PHL.

Delta, I agree, has gone down the tubes recently. Used to fly them all the time when I lived in Ohio but recently only fly them when the price is really low, and then it is a last resort.

The one flight I had on Jetblue, I loved, but they don't have many flights out here in the west.

Here in Boston I use to use <?> Delta and US air and then came SONG , and I did that one only - now that thats gone and folded into main Delta , I'm not happy with Delta service so I tried JetBlue and LOVE IT. I try excusively for them now but if not I recently started using Southwest out of Providence .

Jet Blue is terrific, IMHO. Unfortunately, they don't fly from my airport. I've used them from NY for business and been very pleased. Service has been excellent for the most part.

Delta's service is not what it used to be. Their pricing has always seemed higher to me than their competition. I would call them average, but we fly them infrequently.

USAirways is the dominant airline at PHL. We've used them many times. Fares are generally competitive (thanks to SWA!! ) and schedules excellent for our destinations. Customer service varies from mediocre to average. Baggage services at PHL have been problematic, but showed marked improvement over the Thanksgiving holiday.
