1. BA - Truly superb business class service in Europe
2. KLM - Handy for regional seemless connections to international destinations via Schipol
3. BMI - Next best airline out of Heathrow if BA is full!
Infact I don't think I have ever been booked on a flight with either KLM of BA in the last year which has been delayed and certainly not cancelled. I can't comment on BMI as I haven't flown with them since '99.

Within Europe, it is definitely Air One in Italy. They hand out Ice Cream Cones on their flights!
From Europe to the US, I must choose BA for quality and professionalism that can't be beat!
Signore e signori-benvenuti a bordo questo volo per l'Italia!

Although I haven´t flown on many european airlines, my best flight was aboard an Air France 777-200 GRU-CDG/CDG-GRU.
I liked specially because the flight attendants were very receptive and attencious, the food was delicious, the entertainment was good and the seat ( economy class ) was ok.

1. Swissair and Crossair. Simply the best when they were around. No other European airline, in my opinion, has been able to touch the class and sophistication that these two had, not even Swiss!

Aaah! Ryanair320, how could I have forgotten about Aer Lingus!? I flew them in 1999 fron BOS-SNN and my colleagues and I were up-graded to Premier Class. Very very nice flight. And loved the Irish Waterford Crystal and huge leather seats. Aaaaaaaaaah.

This one's easy: Swiss International Air Lines
I've flown them 15 times (10 short, 5 long-haul) and all flights have been remarkable experiences. Just recently tried them out in business class and that was heaven.
F/A's have always been friendly, planes clean, good food, and always on-time. I think I've experienced one delay so far, and that was due to Heathrow's congested skies.

I have always been impressed by the service and comfort of Lauda Air (before becomming part of Austrian Airlines). Business class was the best I've had from a european carrier. Sadly, I never had the oppertunity to fly Swissair.
This IS my signature
25 A340600: British Airways hs excellent IFE and the FA's treat you with respect. Always a pleasant flight with them (Oh and they're British). Surprised no-one ha
26 PIA777: The only one that I have ever flown was Luftansa back in 1975. I do remember I had a great time. It was my first ride on a 747. I usually fly Airlines
27 Ushermittwoch: It's SAS for me. They just do the little things better than other carriers. And I like CPH. BA is also a great airline. I just don't like LGW or LHR.
28 SmithAir747: I've flown on two European carriers, as follows, and their economy-class service sure beats that of any American carrier I've flown! Aer Lingus (ORD-D

33 B741: BA all the way, then AF. Only Euros I have flown, so can't talk about others. I must say service was excellent on BA and this was back in 1986. AF had
34 Airbazar: I'd have to say Tyrolean, hands down. Excelent service all around.
35 Ams: Lufthansa has defenetly the best inflight service, clean cabins and polite flight attendants. Also Air France has a good service and quality product.

37 Planemannyc: Here is my ranking (I have only flown on economy in Europe except on the old SR -- that was on business) Virgin - great service, nice IFE, good crew K
38 Babybus: I have to start with BA as they are really professional, very relaxed and can sort out most travel problems at the drop of a hat. Next is Air France,
39 GlobeTrekker: I am kind of biased, but KLM is always good in my opinion. BA nothing more to be said about them, they are just excellent. Happy Flying, GlobeTrekker
40 Carlos1979: My personal favourite airline is KLM...especially in business where they give out the beautiful ceramic pieces BA is a close second, especially on do
41 777ualsfo: Lufthansa is tops for me. Best in-flight service of any airlines I have flown, Munich and Frankfurt are well planned and best hubs I have experience (
42 Navairjax: Aer Lingus is the only European carrier I have flown aboard (BOS-SNN) and I definitely enjoyed the experience.
43 Flug: Austrian Airlines, mind you I'll take any European airline over flying a North American carrier on long haul.

48 AMM744: Easy Swissair (Not Swiss). Impeccable service especially Biz Class, wines, food service and of course timing. Sadly missed.

50 AMM744: "British Airways hs excellent IFE and the FA's treat you with respect. Always a pleasant flight with them (Oh and they're British)" Don't you just lov
51 NDB707: One for A340600, I have flown with Virgin a number of times and each time the service seems to get better, so with that VS gets my vote.
52 LanAlemania: 1. Swissair (I was very young when I flew with them, but I never experienced a better inflight service on an intra-european 1-hour-flight) View Large
