Continental used to be good (we move our tails for you!), but when United took them over it only seemed to make United worse. For the past decade United Airlines only serves to remind us all how awful a company can be, and how miserable life can be. I've always had a good experience with JetBlue, although I've only taken them on short hops to Las Vegas or the Bay Area; but they are fresh, and friendly and with roomy seats and very good snacks!Braniff was great too, especially when their entire fleet was a mish-mash of colors in the 70's and 80's. I think towards the end they went to a boring burgundy livery for their planes and beige for their stews, which helped do them in. But in the 70's when Eastern was the Official Airline of WDW and Braniff had their stews in those wild Pucci uniforms, they were wonderful airlines.<img src="https://i.pinimg.com/originals/6f/a1/24/6fa1245fd7eb9892cf9f86cd8c2d2045.png" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" />That photo not only reminds me of how fab the 70's could be, it inspires me to take an elaborate Macrame' arts n' crafts project on my next flight and spread yarn all over the place, like the judgmental Hippie Chick in seat 1A. <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite6" alt=":cool:" title="Cool    :cool:" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":cool:" />This really isn't good news for Long Beach or Disneyland though. Delta Air Lines already announced a major Covid related reduction in service to LGB (and when you include the terminal, it's full acronym is LGBT). LGB had spent quite a tidy sum for such a small airport to completely redo and rethink it about 8 years ago, and the results were wonderful.LAX is... LAX. <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite11" alt=":rolleyes:" title="Roll Eyes    :rolleyes:" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":rolleyes:" />And John Wayne has had service reductions recently too, although at least all the airlines it has have maintained their presence there. But this dramatic reduction in services and airlines at LGB is not helpful to the Disneyland tourist industry and the ease with which to get to/from Disneyland for many tourists.</blockquote>
