Well in that case, you’ll definitely pick airline 2 because it has individual screens in economy, whereas airline 1 doesn’t. Ihat’s it, I’m going for airline 2! Also, if I take airline 2, I can stop over in another country! 😉

Hmmm. I would think a 5-star airline offers more for all classes, whether it’s coach, business, or 1st class. Lemme think: maybe they offer a croissant instead of cheap peanuts on an economy flight? Maybe even thicker/bigger blankets! Or a slightly bigger commode! 😉

(I’m picky even about the little stuff)

Is there a considerable difference in service between a 5-star and a 3-star airline in cattle class? 5-star airlines have a really impressive first class service, but do you think it’s the same with the economy class?

Okay, that solidifies it:

Go w/ #2.

I’d pick a 5-star over a 3-star any old day. The service, food, & leg room must be top notch compared to an average airline. If I’m going to be flying long hours, I’d want comfort & good service. 😉

Donn: That’s the thing: I haven’t been flying with the airline where my frequent flyer miles are. Most of my miles are earned through my credit card purchases.

Argee: Yup, my sponsor’s paying for roundtrip tickets. Airline 1 is a 3-star airline, whereas Airline 2 is a 5-star airline. Comfort is important, but so are miles!

So hard to choose! >_<

well, it’s not as if ur taking 1st class for #2. so maybe the service difference is not much.

i say get some miles..hehe

Is it round trip?

I’d definitely go for option number two, and especially with your propsensity to go around to see new places, I wouldn’t pick otherwise. An airline you’d never been on might even be a mini-vacation of sorts.

Hmm, interesting points. I wanted to go with airline 1 because I’d rack up more points since it’s a pretty long trip (7 hours or so). BUT comfort on the air is very important (not to mention entertainment!) so going with airline 2 is pretty tempting.

Okay, now I’m leaning towards airline 2 😛

Depends on the length of the flight. I’d probably stick with my regular airline, to save my benefactor a few bucks while racking up a few more flyer miles.

If it’s a long flight, one of those nine hour trans-oceanic flights, I’d lean toward going with the better airline.

Good question. Since it’s a rare opportunity, I’d probably go with #2. Might as well check out another airline & fly in style while someone’s willing to pay for it. 🙂

I think I would opt number 2 and fly Emirates..hahaha…
