"Can't say either way" as +3, "More dissatisfied than not" as +2, and "Am dissatisfied" as +1.

† "Overall Satisfactions Points" is not the total of satisfaction points by category but rather the figure calculated from individual

questions in this survey.

† Airlines noted with an asterisk are those for which comparisons are not available because they were not included in the prior survey.

† "●" indicates a low-cost carrier (LCC)
