How this guide was made
Each airline's score is the weighted average of the criteria above, each on a 0-to-10 scale. An airline missing a criterion worth 25% or more of the score is left unscored; a smaller gap takes the median of the airlines compared, so missing data can't raise a score. Facts come from each airline's own policy pages (checked Oct 26, 2026), the U.S. DOT, the Bureau of Transportation Statistics, and Axel's airline ratings 1. Spirit Airlines, which stopped flying on May 2, 2026, is not included.

How this guide was made
Each airline's score is the weighted average of the criteria above, each on a 0-to-10 scale. An airline missing a criterion worth 25% or more of the score is left unscored; a smaller gap takes the median of the airlines compared, so missing data can't raise a score. Facts come from each airline's own policy pages (checked Oct 26, 2026), the U.S. DOT, the Bureau of Transportation Statistics, and Axel's airline ratings [1]. Spirit Airlines, which stopped flying on May 2, 2026, is not included.
