As travellers returned to the skies once again this year, they are not just looking at airlines to get them to their destinations safely, but also is looking forward to stay in style. Whether you’re flying halfway around the world or on a (relatively) short transatlantic hop, the most important thing to look forward is comfort, good food, and kind service. And that’s exactly what leisure travellers have considered when rating the best international airlines.
Here is a list of the best airlines in the world:
1. Singapore Airlines
Singapore Airlines has been at the top of the list for an incredible 27 times. Passengers are enthusiastic about every single aspect of the onboard experience: “Everything is as close to perfect as possible. Outstanding food, service, comfort,” says one voter. And that’s exactly what travelers want to hear before they board the longest flight in the world to New York, a 19-hour haul in total. The luxury carrier had a big year, debuting six brand-new first-class suites on the A380s servicing the U.S. and unveiling new flagship lounges at Changi Airport following a $36 million renovation. It’s perhaps unsurprising that another voter called Singapore Airlines “the standard against which all other airlines are measured.”
