WalletHub compared the nine largest U.S. airlines, plus one regional carrier, across three major categories.

There are plenty of factors to consider when booking long-range travel plans. One of the biggest: which airline will fly you to your destination.

After two years in the top spot, Delta Air Lines slipped to fourth place, behind new No. 1 Alaska Airlines, as well as SkyWest and Spirit. Although Delta held the top spot in 2022 and 2023, Alaska previously ranked at No. 1 from 2017 to 2019 and again in 2021.Alaska Airlines ranked as the best U.S. airline, according to a recent WalletHub report., a global airline alliance of 13 members, including American Airlines, Qatar Airlines and British Airways. This allows Alaska to offer its passengers special perks, such as rebooking a flight on another airline that's part of the alliance when possible.

A major reason Spirit Airlines is able to keep its costs lower than other airlines is that it has an a la carte pricing model. This means your fare covers only your seat, and anything extra, such as bags and in-flight snacks, comes at a cost.
