The rankings were the result of a questionnaire developed by the editors of
Travel + Leisure, in association with Harris Interactive, made available to
subscribers at http://www.tlworldsbest.com/ during the first quarter of this
year. Airline rankings were based on scores in the following categories:
-- Cabin comfort -- In-flight service -- Customer service -- Food -- Value
The complete survey methodology is available in the August issue of Travel +
Leisure, and online at http://www.travelandleisure.com/worldsbest.
Travel + Leisure notes in its survey results that 2005 is the first year that
none of the largest six carriers in the U.S. -- including the legacy airlines
that are Independence Air's primary competitors -- were even ranked in the
top-10. The final results are as follows:
1. Midwest Airlines 75.22 2. JetBlue Airways 74.73 3. INDEPENDENCE
AIR 68.71 4. Song 68.66 5. Alaska Airlines 63.21 6.

Independence Air Chairman and CEO Kerry Skeen said, "To jump all the way to
third place on a list this prestigious after just one year of service is an
accomplishment we are very proud and excited about. Our people have worked so
hard during the past year to create a new airline that feels measurably
different from what passengers in the Washington, D.C. area and our other
cities have experienced in the past -- and this ranking confirms that all the
hard work has really been worth it to our customers."
He added, "We offer our sincere thanks to the readers of Travel + Leisure for
rewarding the extraordinary efforts of the entire FLYi service team. This is
very meaningful to all of us, and we greatly appreciate the recognition."
