best airline to take a drone on?

Any airline. I bring my mavic 3 pro everywhere I go in my carry on with 3 batteries and never take it out the bag when going through security. Sometimes TSA will say take everything out that's bigger than a cell phone. I always only take out my laptop. No one will say anything to you
 
TSA spot checked my loose batteries but did not care about the ones in hard case. Airlines don’t know what is in your carry-on, flew with 21 Mavic 2 batteries in carry on backpack.

aren't you only allowed 2 extra batteries?
 
Where have you seen that rule?

this doesn't include the battery already in the drone although I did just look the mavic 2 does fall under the 100 Wh exception as well as many other drones. although I'm surprised he wasn't stopped 21 batteries is a lot.

The batteries for all DJI's consumer models are <100 watt hours.

yeah I just found that out I personally would still keep to just 2 spares just in case there's a confusion or some unforeseen conflict and also I don't want to have to carry anymore than that I'll find someway to misplace one of them if I have any more than that.

I've never heard of anyone having that sort of issue.
I regularly fly with 6 batteries and have never been asked about them.
In any case, the capacity of DJI batteries in watt hours is clearly marked on each one to help avoid any confusion.
