Low-Cost Airlines in United States of America.
1. American Airlines
Founded in 1930 as American Airways, American first flew routes from Dallas to Boston, Chicago, New York and Los Angeles. Dallas, Texas is headquarters to American Airlines, and its main hub is Dallas-Fort Worth International Airport (DFW), with other major hubs in Chicago and Miami. American Airlines has long been the largest airline in the world, but has been recently edged out in terms of passengers by Delta.
2. Hawaiian Airlines
Hawaii's first and largest airline, provides scheduled and charter interisland flights between the Hawaiian Islands. Hawaiian Airlines, Inc. is the 11th largest commercial airline in the United States. It is the largest airline based in the State of Hawai'i. Out of all the airlines flying today, Hawaiian is definitely one of the ones to beat. Why? Try the lowest rate of lost baggage, with only 1273 out of 565,330 missing. Then there's their boarding denial rate -- a teeny weeny 0.17.
3. Delta Airlines
Founded in 1928, and first known as Delta Air Service, Delta originally served Texas, Mississippi and Alabama. The main hub and headquarters of Delta Airlines is in Atlanta, Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport (ATL).
