      Define your terms? Pilot/staff pay, minimization of cost, carbon efficiency, something else? I’ll look it up, based on order of your concern.

      Kind of curious my own self.

        Initially I thought I need an airline that help in boycotting Isreal. I figured South Africa, or Ireland might be good. But now, I wonder about the different aspects you mentioned.

        Maybe there is a website that have all these details?

          I’ve been poking around a few minutes and can’t find a centralized website. Honestly, add a ticketing system to a website like that and I’d use it over Priceline etc

      If we’re not talking about US airlines exclusively, I have very good experiences with Austrian Airlines. Their booking is straightforward, no hidden fees, good service on the airplane. The only issue I can think of is that it can be difficult to get into contact with a person from that airline when flying from a non-Austrian airport, but that is rarely needed anyway. They’re not low-cost though.
