Northwest Airlines —

I highly recommend Northwest Airlines, although it traditionally gets bad reviews from many people. For one, the frequent flier mile program is widely viewed as the best one among the 6 legacy carriers. It offers the most flexibility, has the least extra fees, and has the most ways to earn miles. In addition, its hubs are in less crowded locations like Detroit, Minneapolis, Memphis, and Tokyo, allowing for smoother connections. As such, I highly recommend Northwest Airlines.
