WalletHub Best Airline of 2019

In 2019, WalletHub selected Alaska Airlines as the Best Airline overall for the third year running. With a score of 63.52, Alaska ranked high in all categories and was No. 1 in safety.

WalletHub compared the 9 largest U.S. airlines, plus three regional carriers, across 15 important metrics including cancellation and delay rates, baggage mishaps, fleet age, customer complaints, reliability, safety and in-flight comfort. The ranking also factors in costs in relation to in-flight amenities for the sake of fairness.
