Experienced travelers know how badly airline miscalculations can ruin the experience of a vacation or business trip. And some of them make such mistakes more often than others.

To help passengers make better airline choices, AirHelp, an online passenger rights protection service, has ranked the world's worst carriers. The list was published by Express.

To rank the carriers, the experts focused on three key factors: punctuality, customer service, and claims handling. They gathered arrival and departure statistics for each aircraft and calculated how many flights the airline operates on schedule.

In addition, passengers themselves had an impact on the list. Experts interviewed thousands of airline users from more than 54 countries. They were asked to rate the level of food on board, comfort, and airline crew.
