Surprise Winner in Latest Airline Quality Rankings

The latest airline quality report is out, and the results might surprise you.
 
Financial services site WalletHub evaluated the largest airlines in the U.S. on 14 different metrics including safety, affordability, and on-time performance. 
 
And you’ll never guess who came out on top — not Delta, or JetBlue or United… it was Spirit. 
 
It won for on-time performance, affordability and safety. Delta actually came in third, and another big surprise — not only did American Airlines drop down to 10th place, it was bested by Frontier.
