The first time I ever flew was when I was reporting to boot camp. The US Navy chose United Airlines for that trip. I was absolutely nervous.
Iโve only ever flown on Southwest, which is basically the Greyhound bus of the sky.

Vueling, Spanish low-cost carrier, from Berlin to Bilbao on my first international business trip back in 2017. I loved the announcements in Spanish during the flight.
American Airlines for a job interview. So it was selected for me. It definitely soured my expectations for air travel.
Most likely easyJet when I was a kid.
First one in my adulthood would be Lufthansa
Midway Airlines out of Midway Airport, Chicago back when they had their own airline. We got pb&jโs on a frisbee we got to keep. :). Things are a little different nowโฆ
I think it was TWA possibly American. I remember a few years later flying jet blu when it was new and it seemed so cool.
The first one ever was Lufthansa, the first one I flew with by myself was Korean Air
JetBlue, IIRC. It was a flight from JFK Airport to Santiago de los Caballeros in the Dominican Republic.
BA
First one I remember is Lufthansa as a kid. Back then I liked it but my recent experience with Lufthansa Economy or flying in general is horrible.
Aer Lingus. Destination: Cork (Ireland)
CP Air.
I remember my brother and I got a cockpit tour and a set of plastic "junior pilot" wings.
United. Twice. They damaged my luggage both times.
I've only flown Delta and American since then.
TWA
Asian Spirit RPLL to RPVE
I was 7 years old, it was a regional flight.
Air Canada! I was about 8 and members of the band Duran Duran were on the flight in first class. I said hi to them.
Weed Airlines
