The Worst Airlines in the World
Air Canada
Despite spending a lot of money to upgrade their planes, Air Canada is still very awful. Old planes with one big movie screen dominate their fleet. The food tastes like it was cooked a many years ago and complaints of surly flight attendants are common. There are groups all over the web dedicated to Air Canada’s bad record. The Facebook group “I’d rather walk than fly Air Canada” has 1,900 members.
American Airlines
AA is canceling flights, cutting routes, firing employees, and charging you more money for fewer services. American has had a bad reputation for awhile and recent cost-cutting measures have only made things worse.
Philippines Airlines
Old planes make this airline one to avoid. The service is average and needless to say, no personal screens. The planes look old and feel old. You’ll barely see the screen while you shift around in seats older than the subtitled movie you’re watching. While the seats can be cheap, it’s an uncomfortable ride.
Air China/China Eastern
Chinese airlines have a bad reputation among frequent fliers. I know frequent fliers who will pay triple the price to avoid one of these airlines. Old planes, poor service, and bad maintenance make flying these planes risky. They have awful service records and frequent problems. You can fly on them for cheap but why risk it?
Gulf Air
Gulf Air flights may be cheap but you get what you pay for. Flights are frequently delayed or canceled without reason, the meals are poor, and the staff is unfriendly. Moreover, you won’t be compensated for any lost time and the staff will do nothing to accommodate you. In fact, they probably could care less. Gulf Air needs to take some lessons from Emirates and learn what service is all about.
US Airways
US Airways consistently ranks near the bottom out of all American carriers. The airline now charges for water and snacks. That’s fine and expected on a low cost carrier but not for a full fare flight. Planes are late or delayed, staff unfriendly (you’d be too if you made what they made), and meals nonexistent. Worse yet, rate hikes and route cuts are expected in the near future.

Floods force mass evacuations in Queensland, Australia
North-eastern Australia's worst flooding in decades is continuing to cause chaos across the region.
Around 1,000 people in Queensland have been evacuated, including the entire population of the town of Theodore.
The government has declared Theodore and two other towns in the region to be disaster zones, and forecasters say the floods have not yet peaked.
The cost of the damage is expected to top A$1bn (£650m), including massive losses of sunflower and cotton crops.
Army Black Hawk helicopters evacuated the 300 residents of Theodore, where every building in the town apart from the police station has been flooded, local media reported.
