    The best airlines - according to TripAdvisor
    Hundreds of carriers have been rated using the website, but many have only received a handful of reviews. We chose to ignore all airlines that have received fewer than 400 reviews to leave a total of 66.
    Of these 66, 16 have an average rating of 4.5 stars (out of five). We've ranked them here according to which have received the highest percentage of five-star reviews.

    1. Emirates - 67.5% five-star reviews
    2. Singapore Airlines - 64.2%
    3. Air New Zealand - 60.6%
    4. Southwest - 60%
    5. Qatar Airways - 59.7%
    6. JetBlue - 59.4%
    7. Aeroflot - 58.9%
    8. JAL - 58.6%
    9. Azul - 58.6%
    10. Jet2.com - 56.4%
    11. ANA - 55.8%
    12. Garuda - 53.5%
    13. Aegean - 53.5%
    14. THAI Smile - 51%
    15. Avianca - 49.9%
    16. TAM - 45.5%
    The presence of Emirates, Singapore Airlines and Air New Zealand at the top of the table will come as no surprise -they are regularly rated among the world's best airlines in the annual Telegraph Travel Awards (see below).
    More noteworthy are the strong performances by low-cost carriers such as Jet2.com and US-based JetBlue and Southwest; Aeroflot continues to outrun its Cold War reputation; while THAI Smile, a subsidiary of Thai Airways, is perhaps the most obscure on the list.





    The worst airlines - according to TripAdvisor
    Once again we ignored those carriers that have received fewer than 400 reviews. Of the remaining 66 airlines, three really stand out: Vueling, Spirit and Frontier. They are the only one to have an average rating of less than 3/5. A further 11 airlines have a rating of 3/5. Here we rank them according to percentage of one-star reviews.

    1. Spirit - 42.8% one-star reviews
    2. Frontier - 40.3%
    3. Vueling - 34.8%
    4. Allegiant - 30.7%
    5. Wow - 32.6%
    6. Sunwing - 25.4%
    7. American Airlines - 21.5%
    8. Air Europa - 19.7%
    9. airberlin - 17.7%
    10. Thomas Cook Airlines - 17.6%
    11. United - 17.3%
    12. Air Transat - 15.5%
    13. Jetstar - 15.1%
    14. Iberia - 12.8%
    The bottom six are all low-cost carriers. Spirit holds the dubious honour of being the airline that relies most on "ancillary" revenue, such as baggage fees, according to a 2015 survey. It charges passengers up to $100 for a cabin bag. Sunwing and Air Transat are both based in Canada.
