Best airline for me has to be Cathay in economy, although Qatar is supposed to be excellent, just going through Doha is a bummer. Worst in flight is Air Chance, although they cleaned up their act on the ground, check-in is really easy at least in Paris. The planes, I hate them all, although I once slept really well on Air Chance thanks to a first class bump in a 747, very comfy! But I usually sleep anyway, I just felt a tad fresher after that flight than usual, even though I had plenty of Crystal Roederer ^_^
Hey Irish, I love Ryanair, quick, efficient, no BS. Great and cheap for a short ride. But I don't like Dublin airport as much as you do, security can sometimes be slow, and when you arrive, you walk past the exit several times in a labyrinth before finally managing to get out of the airport. Departure area is nice with the pubs/restaurants as you mentioned.
Arnold, you mean the new Franz Josef Strauss in Munich? It must be good because I don't really remember it, but it's really far from the city.
