For me it is Ansett. We used to fly them all the time when we lived in Melbourne 8 years ago. We would still fly them if they were here now, the best thing with them was star alliance.
Braathens S.A.F.E comes second, naturally, as more competition in Norway would be great, although Norwegian Air Shuttle is great. Also good to see there hybrid livery still on a couple SAS aircraft.
I am still relatively young, and never got the chance to fly Pan Am, TWA, etc.
The airline I would have wanted to fly the most of the 'extinct' airlines of the US, would be TWA.

We think alike on this one. For me, I would reverse the two. I worked for both but enjoyed my days with BN a little more.

Quoting UltimateDelta (Reply 23): I say Midwest Express. Fortunately Midwest is a suitable replacement.
MidwestExpress and Midwest are the same airline. Midwest Express changed their name in 2002 to Midwest. They did this so the the average American wouldn't think YX was just a regional carrier. They then also changed the name of their actual regional carrier (Skyway Airlines) to Midwest Connection.
