What’s the best airline in the world?

by Jason on February 1, 2008

singaporeair.pngThe December 2007 Business Traveler Magazine but its reader votes together to line up the Readers’ Choice Best it Business Travel Awards , which, conveniently, lists the airline awarded the title “best airline in the world.”

What airline, you ask? Singapore Airlines.

And if you’re wondering how they got that title, check out some of the descriptions:

For business-class customers, Singapore offers 34-inch-wide seats that can be converted to fully-flat beds, which have 15.4-inch LCD entertainment systems with USB ports and up to 1,000 channels of movies, music, and other programming. The KrisWorld entertainment system also includes basic word processing, spreadsheet, and presentation software, so business travelers can work on projects stored on a USB drive. Seats are arranged in a 1-2-1 configuration, giving all passengers easy access to an aisle.

Yep, I think I might vote that pretty highly, too. The last international flight I took was on British Airways, which all in all is not a bad airline, but talk about leaping five feet above the bar.

And Singapore Changi Airport was named best business travel airport in the world.

Sounds like I need to go to Asia more often.

Yeah, but what’s economy class like? To me, that’s the real test of quality. Any airline can have a fancy biz/first section, but most of us are stuck in cattle car…

Yeah, I agree. All the luxury in the world is useless if it’s outside your budget.
