If you're in the air often or just want an airline generous with its frequent flyer program, you have plenty of options. Last week, we asked you which airlines you thought were the best for frequent travelers. Then we highlighted the top five airlines based on those nominations. Now we're back to highlight the winner.
Voting was fairly tight all weekend, but
Southwest Airlines took the top spot with just over 32% of the votes cast. Those of you who voted for it praised its broad availability, flexible flights and scheduling, and the fact that its progam is based on dollars spent, not miles traveled, which makes benefits easier to reach.Om second place with close to 26% of the vote was
Delta Airlines. Love them or hate them, they're one of the world's largest, and thus one of the most broadly accessible. In third place with over 18% of the vote was discount airline
JetBlue, well regarded for comfortable, modern planes and customer service. With 15% of the vote,
British Airways took fourth place, and bringing up the rear with just shy of 9% of the vote was
Alaska Airlines.The Hive Five is based on reader nominations. As with most Hive Five posts, if your favorite was left out, it's not because we hate it—it's because it didn't get the nominations required in the call for contenders post to make the top five. We understand it's a bit of a popularity contest, but if you have a favorite, we want to hear about it. Have a suggestion for the Hive Five?
