I have flown with:\
Quantas to LA - they are THE worst airline to fly with.. long storey!!
Jetstar - Great!
Tiger to Tassie - awesome!
Air NZ to NZ - awesome!
Virgin to QLD & Fiji - awesome!

I would choose the cheepest - there ate a lot of horror storeys and that TV show = but they only show the bad stuf.. never the good stuff.
