I find AirTran.com to be the easiest to use in terms of being able to select the flights you want. JetBlue.com is also good in this regard. I hate the sites like Continental that use a confusing graph set-up to try to find you the best fares but without showing the possible times and such.

I always liked Northwest's website. I never have any problems with trying to find something on their website and booking is pretty easy.

Big fan of Delta's website...everything right there on the front page, easy to change seats, request upgrades, etc. online; calendar for searching for award tickets is great. Only complaint is no searching for partner awards online.

And there's something wrong with their online check in feature for me :s

Surprised no one has mentioned WN. I'm a big fan of Southwest.com. Fast loading and easy to navigate, the way all airline websites should be!

Websites are one thing that most (not all!) American carriers do very well. In flight service isn't what it used to be, but the websites, for the most part, are terrific.
Websites I particularly like:
- Delta
- Northwest
- jetBlue
- Skybus (the calendar is handy if you happen to live in Columbus and want to go somewhere on the cheapest dates possible)
- American
- Continental
- Southwest
These ones need improvement for one reason or another
- US Airways (too clunky)
- Alaska (interface needs a facelift)
- Midwest (interface needs a facelift)
- Frontier (booking system needs to change)
- United (website hates people with Star Alliance mileage plans that aren't MileagePlus)
Others are average, or I'm not familiar with them.

Agree. Ugly though. And it doesn't display exact prices but rather ranges for each class of ticket available. I like FL's best because it displays the price for each leg and all the available legs, plus all available connections. The FL site will let you connect through any city where a connection can be made, which is a nice feature. So if you want to avoid ATL, why not go through PHF, BWI, or CAK?
Agreed, that background is sharp. Creates quite a different move than that of the majors.

It's a nice improvement over the relatively liberal design they had last year. Reminds me of B6's now.
I do not like the website of LX. Wanted to book a flight ZRH-BKK and HKG-ZRH in J class. I could not find a way how to to do it so I ended up on LH that was easily to navigate and I got my ticket ZRH-BKK and HKG-ZRH with LX flight number and LX planes (no codeshares on LH or similar)!!!
ZRH-TLV-ZRH on LX in Y, ZRH-VIE-YYZ-TPA-IAD-YYZ-FRA-ZRH on OS/AC/UA/LH in C in June on a award trip, BSL-BRU-BSL in July
