TripAdvisor has done it again! They’ve come out with a list of best and worst airlines to fly with based on reviews from people like you and me.

For those of you who don’t know, you can now submit an airline review on TripAdvisor. The majority of us rely on TripAdvisor’s hotel reviews before making a booking and over the years the site has grown to be one of the most trustworthy when it comes to open and honest reviews.

You can now add a review for an airline and share your feedback on everything from how the seats were to the level of service provided.
