Better, as it's more likely to be on time, less lost luggage, technical improvements with in flight entertainment, and such, at least in my experience. Arguably, cheap prices also increased the number of people with questionable class, attitude and hygiene to make more appearance also. Right now I find the regular practice of overbooking planes and crammed seats the most annoying. In addition somehow attractive female stewardesses all but disappeared, at least what I've seen.
