	American Airlines HQ is American Airlines?

	taylor:	Nov 23rd, 2008 at 01:13 GMT	0 points
	no frontier?

	Lycan_Amyral:	Nov 23rd, 2008 at 04:03 GMT	4 points
	Frontier is a pretty small airline. 58 destinations and a fleet of 60 isn't big in terms of US carriers.

	No Virgin anything?

	I keep wanting to spell Qantas with a "u." Silly aussie spelling :p

	DLJessup:	Nov 23rd, 2008 at 05:48 GMT	6 points
	OK, I had to look up the answers in the Javascript to figure out how to type in an acceptable answer for Aerolíneas Argentinas, because the quiz doesn't accept "Aerolineas Argentinas" with an unaccented "i". I needed to type "Argentina Air". This is highly unusual for a Sporcle quiz; usually, if you type in an answer leaving off the accents, it is treated as correct.

	I was surprised not to find Singapore Air on this list. I flew it many times growing up and found it to be probably the best airline in the entire world, and I have flown most of the major airlines, including most on this list.

	jimpoz:	Nov 23rd, 2008 at 10:28 GMT	5 points
	No Aeroflot? Also, should "ANA" be acceptable for "All Nippon Airways"? I remember a commercial from years ago where they had different people saying "My name is ANA."

	virgin air?

	Jimmy:	Nov 24th, 2008 at 05:26 GMT	4 points
	@ hi19hi19 Qantas is an acronym.

	Since when were Alaska Airlines and Transair major airlines. The trouble with sporcle is that it is so US centric. How can you have a quiz about major airlines and not include Air india or Singapore Airlines or Virgin Atlantic or Aeroflot Flying to Alaska hardly qualifies as major

	Phil B:	Nov 28th, 2008 at 22:10 GMT	0 points
	mark jones - I agree!

	tony:	Jan 1st, 2009 at 02:11 GMT	-1 points
	Honestly, you have Alaska Airlines on here and leaving out much more major ones?

	Maybe Ben lives in the Seattle-Tacoma area. (Why else would he short-form the name of the HQ for that airline and no other?)

	Qatar Airways??? 5 star airline Singapore Airline???? 5 star

	AtomicIce:	Mar 26th, 2009 at 01:13 GMT	0 points
	I kept typing in "Air Maroc" and variations thereof, then I find out the answer is ROYAL Air Maroc. I think if Nippon is sufficient for All Nippon Airways, then Air Maroc should be sufficient too, it's not like there is an Air Maroc AND a Royal Air Maroc.

	I too am surprised that Singapore Airlines, Aeroflot and Virgin Atlantic are not on the list. And I haven't ever heard of Air Transat.

	squirrelito:	Apr 9th, 2009 at 01:57 GMT	1 point
	Some random airlines on there. Alaska Airlines? Blimey. No way is that or Air New Zealand bigger than Singapore Airlines, BMI, Aeroflot, South African etc etc etc

	DTNelson:	Jun 5th, 2009 at 10:21 GMT	4 points
	@jkd: SeaTac is actually the name of the town Alaska has its headquarters in. It used to be the unincorporated area around the Seattle-Tacoma airport, and when they incorporated, they chose as their name the nickname for the airport, mid-word capitalization and all, but no hyphen. Alaska Airlines is not small (it is bigger than either Mexican airline, for example), but yes, I was surprised to not see Singapore in the list.

	I too find it weird that SIA is not on the quiz. They indeed are major carrier. And NWA and Delta are not yet the same. This quiz would be even better if it would represent the whole world. It atleast should have Aeroflot.

	Nikodemus:	Jun 13th, 2009 at 19:22 GMT	2 points
	Air Transat is way too small to be on a list of major carriers. Even Finnair is larger. 9W, AI, IT, SQ, SU, VS... should be there.

	Skywest? Really? They are not a major airline. Not in any sense of the definition. They do not sell tickets, but rather fly other carriers routes. Skywest is a REGIONAL airline

	JohnD:	Jun 27th, 2009 at 09:13 GMT	2 points
	In fact this is a direct quote from the skywest.com website after clicking on reservations "To book a reservation on a SkyWest operated flight, please visit one of our partner’s websites. All reservations for SkyWest flights are booked through Delta Air Lines, United Airlines or Midwest Airlines."

	Why isn't Virgin Atlantic listed?

	elnok:	Sep 21st, 2009 at 20:42 GMT	1 point
	i'm assuming these are random... it'd be cooler to see a list of the 100 biggest by destinations, flights, history, whatever. As for the RAM comments... they're actually a company that always goes by their full name. "Royal" is always there. Also, more fun to guess ones that don't have the name of a country in it... Malev, CSA, Yemenia, Jet, etc...

	holmez:	Oct 18th, 2009 at 07:17 GMT	1 point
	QANTAS - Queensland And Northern Territory Air Services. Definitely agree, should have Singapore, Virgin, and maybe even Air Asia?

	07bargem:	Oct 19th, 2009 at 23:05 GMT	1 point
	You should include Virgin and accept BA for british airways. That's what we all call it.
