Generally, I find the ME and Asian carriers the best, overall

My favourite airline of all is Qatar, because of the service and the food, and the entertainment options. I just flew a leg on them in Coach, and the service and food were much better than a typical First/Biz class on an American carrier. Also, I flew a leg on a -380 in coach, and the seat was MUCH better than the coach seat of any other aircraft I have flown in.

Note: I have NOT flown on Thai, and don't have much experience on Singapore.

Also: I am now trying to fly less on AA, and more on UAL, for my domestic flights...problem is, ORD is often terrible, due to the fact that ORD and the FAA let the US carriers scheduled unlimited flights through ORD, so they are WAY over capacity. Any little hiccup, and it is a disaster...
