■Airline Overall Satisfaction (Total / Single Answer)
† Satisfaction points are the weighted average based on calculations of "Am satisfied" as +5, "More satisfied than not" as +4,
"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.
