Safest Airline in Minnesota Just Revealed by WalletHub

A few weeks ago, I was getting preparations ready for a conference that I was attending.  I had the hotel room.  I knew how I was getting around the city.  The only thing I didn't have figured out yet were my flights from Minnesota to Vegas.

Like 65% of Americans, I was a bit nervous about boarding a plane and taking off for my destination.  Before I bought my tickets, I needed some info about the following:

  • What airlines had the most legroom (I'm a bit on the tall side...so this is a big deal).
  • What were the fees for checked bags?
  • What airline is the safest?

Thanks to some new research by WalletHub, I found out what airline is the safest to fly in Minnesota.
