RE: Do you think travllers really care who they travel with ?

I care who I travel with. After the vile experience of spending 1 1/2 hours in an Icelandair jet with a faulty engine, I would rather miss out on going to Iceland than fly with them again.
Also after flying with Air New Zealand and receiving no in-flight service at all because the crew were more concerned about heading to the rest area, I can honestly say I will find another way to travel to LA, even if it means going via Canada, than be ripped off by Air NZ again.
