"  These days, it feels like airline perks have all but come to a screechy, bouncy, unsteady and nerve-racking halt. Fliers have come to expect nothing more than a scowl upon their request for a second glass of water. But a few airlines are still catering to their customers, and at a time when airport security is appalling and ticket prices high, they very well should be. The airlines below boast the best bonuses for economy-class fliers. Virgin America  Virgin is all about style, boasting chic interior design and Austin Powers-esque mood lighting. They have over 25 pay-per-view &amp;quot;Hollywood&amp;quot; movies on demand, and fliers can order fresh food from the screen at each seat. Plus, if a fellow passenger piques your interest, you can contact them via Virgin&amp;#039;s version of instant messaging: the Seat-to-Seat Chat. Photo courtesy of VirginAmerica.com. Asiana Airlines  Forget Broadway or a day at the spa\u2014book a flight with Asiana instead. On-board entertainment programs include &amp;quot;The Wizard of Asiana&amp;quot; (crew puts on a magic show); &amp;quot;The Delighters&amp;quot; (crew presents Korean history and current events while wearing traditional garb); and &amp;quot;Charming&amp;quot; (crew provides makeup service, including consultations and moisturizing mask packs).

Meanwhile, adults can stock up on goods from Temptations, the airline&amp;#039;s duty-free in-flight shopping experience, which boasts a range of products from liquors to accessories by well-known designers.

Singapore Airlines  On most flights exceeding four and a half hours, Singapore Airlines offers all economy passengers a toiletry package as well as a writing pack, which includes postcards, envelopes and a pad of paper. Additionally, each seat is equipped with a full in-flight entertainment console and personal power supply. Photo courtesy of SingaporeAir.com. British Airways   This one&amp;#039;s for the kids. In honor of Paddington Bear&amp;#039;s 50th birthday, British Airways created a themed in-flight Skyflyers&amp;#039; activity pack for children ages 3 to 5, which includes an activity book, crayons and finger puppets. As the kids play, adults can put up their feet\u2014wrapped in a pair of complimentary flight socks\u2014and enjoy the flight. Photo courtesy of BritishAirways.com. JetBlue Airways  How does JetBlue keep America running? Come morning, fliers are offered Dunkin&amp;#039; Donuts coffee and a hot towel! Additionally, every passenger on every JetBlue flight has access to 36 free live channels on their own TV screen and a snooze kit for overnight trips, which includes an eye mask and ear plugs.

As fliers recharge their bodies, they can also recharge their computers, phones or portable music players with the in-seat power system, which can be accessed once the aircraft hits 10,000 feet.

To boot, the cabin crew is bubbling with knowledge\u2014including how to serve wine and the origin and classification of each bottle. Photo courtesy of Corporate.AirFrance.com. Southwest Airlines  SWA has quite the comedic reputation, their crew&amp;#039;s witty remarks topping most &amp;quot;funny airline saying&amp;quot; lists with things like: &amp;quot;Sorry, folks, for the hard landing. It wasn&amp;#039;t the captain&amp;#039;s fault. It wasn&amp;#039;t the first officer&amp;#039;s fault. It wasn&amp;#039;t the plane&amp;#039;s fault. It was the as-phalt.&amp;quot; And, while other airlines are charging for any checked bags, Southwest gives fliers the first two fee-free. Photo by Getty. American Airlines  AA fliers traveling within the U.S. can breathe easy when asked (twice) to turn off their cell phones and disconnect from the outside world for the few-hour flight ahead. Later they can reconnect thanks to American Airline&amp;#039;s Gogo Inflight Internet service using their smart phone, laptop or any other Wi-Fi\u2013enabled device. Photo courtesy of AA.com.
