Battle of the Budget Airlines

With companies feeling the pinch of the disastrous economy as much as the rest of us, a lot more of us are likely flying "budget" airlines for business more than ever. After flying AirTran and Southwest, I was about to declare the latter as the best of the low-cost airlines - until I flew JetBlue. It was my first experience with tarmac to tarmac satellite TV and, while i didn't get much work done, I thoroughly enjoyed the entertainment (if that's what we can call watching the markets tank). The TV wasn't quite enough of a distraction from the small middle seat I was crammed into, but I have read that JetBlue has expanded its roomier seat section (up to 38" of leg room for a mere $10 charge), which may make it a more attractive option for the business traveler.

I'm not ready to declare a budget airline winner just yet - how about you? Let us know what your favorite low-cost airline is by voting in my poll below. Safe (and cheaper) travels!
