I avoid charter airlines for long flights as much as possible...in fact, I haven't flown on anything other than a major 'scheduled' airline. But my reasoning is more for better seat pitch, service and reliability. Paying a cheaper fare for a charter should not mean an increased chance on your life...although, with the recent events with Canadian-based airlines, it may seem otherwise...3 major incidents in the last few weeks (2 Air Transat and one Canada 3000).
