I like Kulula (sp?) personally.  The livery is the best part . . .

I like the names:

Cathay Pacific
Aeroflot (Аэрофлот)
Koninklijke Luchtvaart Maatschappij (KLM)

;D

I cannot care less about slogans though.

Couldn't KLM come up with a name? Luchtvaart Maatschappij means literally airline and Koninklijke is just an honorary title given to certain companies, including KLM. ;D

Nice livery? It's way too boring :'(
Luckily it is not as bad as the new Finnair and new Japan Airlines (though the re-introduction of the crane logo is great)

I like KLM Royal Dutch Airlines as well. It sounds and looks really professional.

Also I think Qantas and All Nippon Airways (ANA) are really well chosen names.

I have to second Cathay Pacific -- I think it's a great name for a great airline. I like Qantas too but too many people think it's "Quantas" and I think Qantas even owns that domain name?   :P

I also really like a little regional airline in Switzerland called FlyBaboo. I'm not sure if they're still in business but I've had a lovely experience with them.

FlyBaboo has been acquired by Darwin Airlines (based in Milan). But it's a REAL mess by now, they kind of cancel routes, and try to reorganize using mostly a Milan-GVA-final destination scheme.

The service is becoming awful as well. Too bad... I loved Baboo
