Holly Firfer has the latest on how airlines are performing.</s>HOLLY FIRFER, CNN CORRESPONDENT (voice-over): The airline quality rankings report is out and U.S. domestic airlines seem to get a little better last year. The report is based on numbers from the Department of Transportation.</s>UNIDENTIFIED MALE: They got their second best overall results since this survey began. They did better in on-time arrivals. They did better in baggage handling.</s>FIRFER: The airline with the best on-time performance was Hawaiian Airlines and Virgin America lost the fewest bags. Southwest Airlines again had the lowest complaint rate and this in a year when passengers complained a lot more.</s>UNIDENTIFIED MALE: Customer complaints were up 20 percent. And that might seem strange, even though the airlines got pretty good results overall. Passengers are complaining about surcharges, ticketing issues, personnel, because airlines are flying fewer but more crowded planes.</s>FIRFER: One of the biggest complaints of passengers was getting bumped, but there are ways to make sure you get a seat.</s>UNIDENTIFIED MALE: You don't get a seat assignment when you make your reservation, check in 24 hours online in advance, otherwise get to the airline two or three hours early. The best thing can you do to make the flight experience more positive, have the right frame of mind. Patience is key.</s>WHITFIELD: For more travel information go to cnn.com/travel.
