| 2007-07-31 | Veronica | 10 | 10 | 10 | 10 | No | I found the link you sent me (airlinequality.com) very helpful. I used it to rule out flying by Ryanair, and chose instead Vueling, which received better reviews and flies out of Orly. Thanks a lot. |
| 2007-02-11 | Tina | 10 | 10 | 10 | 10 | Yes | |
| 2007-01-30 | marissa | 10 | 10 | 10 | 10 | Yes | Thank you so much for your response! You have been so helpful! I will definitely look into all of those suggestions. I am flying from MRY (monterey) to Newark so since MRY is such a small airport, everything is more expensive. San Jose is only an hour away but I don't have a car so it would cost me minimum $50 for a bus... |

| 2007-01-08 | Linda | 10 | 10 | 10 | 10 | No | What an awesome reply! Steve answered my question and added more... no, I didn't know about the extra trip when booking award travel to Europe. Thanks so much! |
