These airlines are the safest, most comfortable and friendliest to pets, according to Wallethub
There are many different factors that make an airline great − and a new ranking has broken it down by factors like safety, comfort and pet-friendliness.
WalletHub analyzed the nine largest U.S. airlines and three regional carriers across 15 metrics, including number of canceled flights and delays, mishandled baggage, animal-related incidents, leg room, Wi-Fi availability, number of fatal injuries and price. It used 2018 flight data provided by the U.S. Department of Transportation to build out its ranking.
WalletHub rated Delta Air Lines most reliable, JetBlue most comfortable and ExpressJet and Envoy tied for the most pet-friendly. Alaska Airlines was deemed safest.
Overall, Alaska Airlines came out on top (a favorite among recent airline rankings), followed by Delta Air Lines and SkyWest Airlines. American Airlines, Envoy Air and Frontier Airlines took the last three spots, in that order.
