Top Five Comfiest Airlines

Posted in Airlines |

Being someone who travels a lot, Ive had my share of bad planes. Its not uncommon to step out of a long flight with your legs still half-asleep, praying to be stretched! People I know even say that a more expensive ticket is fine as long as the plane had enough legroom.

Another measure of comfortable I use is entertainment. I bring a book along to help pass the time, but I still check out the in-flight shows. More work-oriented friends of mine who carry laptops have internet access on the top of their list. I suppose I can also use that to browse the net, too.

The planes amenities are also something to think about. I like spacious toilets since Id rather not suffocate (in more ways than one) when using the can. I sleep while en route sometimes, so having nice pillows and blankets help me sleep soundly, as well as a nice, comfortable chair. Decent food is a must, since Ive eaten enough on-board tasteless meals to last a lifetime. Friendly airline staff is also a big plus. Ive been half-ignored by a grumpy stewardess once, and I wasnt even flirting with her!

So, what airlines are best for booking flights with? According to the World Airline Awards, they are the following:

1. Singapore Airlines Ive had the pleasure of flying with this airline a few times, and hearing that they are number one isnt surprising at all. Theyve always had a good reputation among regular travelers, and for good reason. Economy class isnt as cramped, business class is as good as it gets, great meals in all classes, friendly and well-trained cabin staff and a good selection of in-flight entertainment. If you have a flight with Singapore Airlines, youre guaranteed satisfaction. Your legs may not want to leave, and its not because theyre asleep!

2. Thai Airways Yet another excellent airline! Some consider them to be Singapore Airlines true competitor, both being based in Southeast Asia and both being considered to be some of the best in the world. Like in Singapore Airlines, youre guaranteed satisfaction with them.

3. Cathay Pacific A consistent competitor ever since the conception of the awards, you are sure to have a good experience with them. Although not as good as the best, its their more than above average ratings in everything a passenger needs gives them a good edge against other airlines.

4. Qatar Airways If youre flying first class, look no further! Qatar Airways has the best first class seats in the business, and isnt a slouch in the other categories either. Its also the best airline based in the Middle East. Grab a flight with them and see what they can do for you.

5. Qantas Another consistent performer like Cathay Pacific, its considered to be the best airline based in Australia. It does well in many of the comfort categories, and is known to be a top choice for flights.

So what are you waiting for? If you have a trip planned, be sure that its one of these airlines for a comfortable travel experience that will leave you smiling, inside-out!
