This list is for North American (U.S., Canada, Mexico, and nearby islands) airlines. The next section lists airlines elsewhere in the world.

Air Aruba (http://www.interknowledge.com/air-aruba/) has a rather dusty page with limited route and contact info, on which the most useful item is that they don't fly any more.

Air Canada (http://www.aircanada.ca/schedules/) has schedule info, reservations, ticketing, and weekly Websaver special fares. Aussi disponible en francais (http://www.aircanada.ca/francais/horaires/). You can also download a 400K PC version of the entire schedule.

Air St Pierre (http://209.205.50.254/AspWeb/) flies from St Pierre (which, for those who slept through geography class, is a French island near Newfoundland) to nearby points. Schedule and fares, in French.

Airtran (http://www.airtran.com), a low-fare airline in the eastern U.S., has schedules, reservations, ticketless ticketing, special offers, and an e-mail specials newsletter.

Air Transat (http://www.airtransat.com) is a Canadian scheduled charter line that flies to the US, the Caribbean, and Europe. Well-organized web site has schedules, reservations, and flight ops.

Alaska Airlines (http://www.alaska-air.com/) has a web site with flight info, reservations, ticketless ticketing, and special offers. On-line tickets get 250 bonus miles, more for e-tickets and automated checkin. They give $10 off for web booking when you register on their web site and buy a ticket by May 26. The reservation system finally seems to be working reliably, new design is pretty but not as cute as the old retro design. Downloadable PDF schedule, too.

ALM (http://www.airalm.com/) flies to and from the Netherlands Antilles. Routes, schedules, destination info, and occasional specials.

Aloha (http://www.alohaairlines.com/) flies within Hawaii, als to and along the U.S. west coast. Routes, schedules, tickets, special fares. Frequent flyer program allows family members to pool miles. Bankrupt but still operating.

America West (http://www.americawest.com) has schedule info, reservations, and ticketless ticketing in a site that is quite attractive now that the images hold still. Weekly web specials for both air and air/land packages. They've merged with US Airways, but for now the two airlines are operating separately with separate web sites.

American Airlines (http://www.aa.com/) has a newly redesigned very blue web site with schedules, fares, and flight ops. Reservations and ticketing available, using the Orbitz booking and search engine. (So much for the company that built Sabre in the first place, 40 years ago.) They also offer timetables (http://www.aatimetable.com) in various online and printable formats.

American Trans Air (http://www.ata.com) has a web site with schedules, fares, flight ops. Reservations provided through a system which appears to be a private label version of Travelocity. They currently offer a free companion ticket after three round trips, free ticket after six round trips, for travel booked on their web site.

Amtrak (http://www.amtrak.com) isn't an airline, but they're competitive on many routes in urban parts of the U.S., and have scenic long distance routes. Schedule info and reservations available, although the reservation system can be awfully slow.

Bearskin Airlines (http://www.bearskinairlines.com/) flies small planes around northern Ontario and Manitoba with hubs in bustling Thunder Bay and Sioux Lookout. Sounds like fun. Info and reservations via a private label version of Amadeus. The logo sweatshirts are attractive but seem a little pricey at C$49.95.

BWIA (http://www.bwee.com/) flies to, from, and around the Caribbean. They have a separate site (http://www.bwee-ticket.com), if you want to buy tickets rather than just look at their soothing green web site.

Canadian Airlines (http://www.cdnair.ca) has been absorbed into Air Canada, familiarly known as Mapleflot.

Chalk's Ocean Airways (http://www.flychalks.com/) has been flying seaplanes between Florida and the Bahamas since 1919, making it the world's oldest operating airline, with only one accident, when a plane fell apart in the air on Dec 19th. Attractive site has reservations, destination info, and a lot of "under construction" pages.

Continental (http://www.continental.com) has a spiffy new design with schedule info, on-line booking, and flight status. CO.O.L. system offers a general purpose reservation system with hotels and cars as well as flights, with the same features as Microsoft's Expedia. Currently offering up to 1000 extra FF miles for tickets bought on-line. Weekly specials via mailing list or web site. (CO.O.L. requires cookies.)
