Your vacation begins from the moment you step on the plane. What happens if your journey to your vacation destination is a bad one? What if the staff are rude or the meals are disgusting? It is going to put a dampener on the whole occasion.
This is the last thing anyone wants, especially when most people have to save up for quite a while in order to be able to afford their vacation. From cheap airfares to fantastic cabin crew service; let’s take a look at the best airlines in the world.
So, let’s begin by taking an overall viewpoint. Which airlines offer the full package?
- Singapore Airlines – Singapore Airlines frequently tops the surveys and polls when it comes to the best airline. The in-flight experience is as close to perfect as you will get. From cabin cleanliness, to comfort, to entertainment options; there is no need for complaints.
- Air Astana – This is an airline from Kazakhstan. Last year it topped the list for ‘Best Airline in Central Asia and India’.
- Virgin – In-flight entertainment is where Virgin really excels. Nevertheless, it scores high points on the efficiency front, time performance and comfort. The overall experience is a great one. A lot of people use this airline to fly to Las Vegas. Las Vegas isn’t all about the gambling, so if you want to combine an exciting location with a great airline, this is an option to think about it.
- Turkish Airlines – Turkish Airlines can be credited as coming on leaps and bounds over the past few years. It is really growing in popularity and it is not hard to see why.
- Etihad Airways – The last airline getting a mention for overall experience is Etihad Airways. The United Arab Emirates airline is one of the newer ones and for many years, it has received the accolade of the World’s Leading Airline at the World Travel Awards.
Now, let’s dig deeper into two areas of the airplane experience which is important to most; the cabin crew and the in-flight meals. Which airlines excel on this front? We will have a look at those airlines with the best cabin crew first. After all, there is nothing worse than rude staff to make you feel uncomfortable whilst on your flight. So, here are the top ten airlines based on the cabin crew solely…
