This is the No. 1 airline in the world, according to travelers
On Tuesday, TripAdvisor released its list of the best airlines in the world, compiled using an algorithm that factored in the quantity and quality of airline reviews and ratings submitted by travelers. The list was dominated by Asian airlines, with Singapore Airlines SINGF, -0.56% taking the top spot for the second year in a row. “They win first place in consumer polls decade after decade,” says George Hobica founder of Airfarewatchdog.com.
And one TripAdvisor reviewer, who claims that he used to be a member of an airline’s cabin crew, says the following about the airline: “I had plenty of legroom, the food was excellent and the crew so friendly and helpful. Crews at Singapore Airlines have to undergo 3 and half months training, and it shows. Every interaction I had was greeted with a warm and genuine smile. Nothing was too much bother, and often my needs were anticipated before I could make a request. If I made the trip again, I would definitely use Singapore Airlines.”Top 10 airlines in the world, according to TripAdvisor6.
