By: Joanne Ronnin

Picking an airline to fly with could be one of the mostimportant decisions you can make. Flying is no more riskythan any other form of transportation, however knowingthat you are going to be thousands of feet above the groundwith no safety net can make for some pretty nervous times.Many things should be considered when searching for thebest airline to take you on your trip. Some of thesefactors include:

Safety Ratings: all airline companies have a safety rating,undergoing necessary audits of their aircraft and safetypolicies. It goes without saying that it pays to steerclear of any airline with a less than stellar air safetyhistory.

Cost: with all the other expenses of a vacation to evaluate,being able to source the most cost effective solution toreaching your destination and coming home safely makesresearching airline companies and their subsequent airfaresan all-important task.

Comfort: Depending on the length of your travel, it may beimportant or not so important to determine the level ofcomfort offered by each airline company.

Being able tostretch out your legs, for example, could be the decidingfactor for a long distance plane trip.

Services: Once again, depending on the length of your trip,services provided by an airline will vary widely. For a longdistance trip it may be important to you that food be servedregularly on board the airline carrier and that the price beall-inclusive.

Baggage: Of course when you go on vacation it is nice to beable to take full advantage of baggage allowances, bringinghome gifts for loved ones. As with most things, allowancesvary with each airline and it could save you lots of moneyto check the fine print.

Once your decision has been made there is very little roomfor change of mind - so choose prudently the best airlineavailable to you and enjoy your trip!
