The Most Prestigious Airlines In Asia
Weve covered lowcost airlines and their nofrills approach to air travel. But more often than not when stuck in the same seated position for more than an hour you tend to stiffen a bit. And then theres the baby girl whos wailing as her 2 yearold brother laughs maniacally kicking your seat with both feet. Theres no room. Too much noise; theres no way out!
Sorry but sometimes leg room is more than just a perk; its a necessity. Besides that for long flights of four or more hours your throat gets parched or you get a little tired and need some coffee. Liquor is nice too. Some things become a luxury only when theyre not available. There are times when cash is tight and discomfort is worth the price of the ticket. But a serious traveler demands a comfortable trip.
Standard coach seats in just about any major airline will be relatively cramped and the typical problems of the crying baby behind you and the fat bald man drooling on your shirt will persist. But even there youll find a level of service excellence that is absent from coach in many other airlines. Everything from the way the flight attendant sees that everyone is comfortable to the onflight entertainment is simply better with the most prestigious airlines.
* Singapore Airlines
Singapore Airlines is based in the country of Singapore not the ghost town in the Michigan. There are certain amenities that come to all passengers as part of the flight. Their amenities include meals complimentary drinks and inflight entertainment. They also have an onflight radio service. By plugging in the ear phones and picking a channel you can listen to anything from classical music to Ramp;B.
* Qantas Airlines
Australia gave us Forsters Beer and Crocodile Dundee but they didnt stop there. After dominating the leisure and entertainment worlds they tackled air travel. Qantas is the national airline of Australia and rivals every airline on the planet in terms of the service you receive from the flight attendants and pilots. But the food they serve even to coach customers is cuisine. They are rated in the top 10 airports in the world in arriving and departing on time. The Aussies have made air travel a pleasure again.
* Cathay Pacific
Hong Kongs Cathay Pacific has the pretense of being refined and cultured one of the finest ways to travel; and it is! But the online customer ratings in comfort were higher in economy class than in both business and first class! The widest praise was on the friendliness and hospitality of the flight staff as well as incredibly high marks for onflight entertainment.
* Qatar Airlines
From now on when you think of the Middle East and Airplanes youll immediately remember the exquisitely comfortable accommodations worldrenowned service and cuisinequality meals that have made Qatar Airlines the best in the region. In fact they have set the standard of excellence airlines around the world must judge themselves against.
A standby joke for any lame comic is to lament airplane food. Online reviews for longhaul trips gave Qatar 5star ratings on both the meal and on the planes cleanliness and comfort. Quite simply they know how to make you happy.
* Thai Airways
There is a legend that out there in the East there is a place where you can sip a cocktail and get a massage; all while flying 30000 feet above Mongolia. If thats never happened to you then youve never flown Thai Airways. They are an official 4star airline and has a firstclass that features a spa massage service and ondemand dining.
No you dont need a massage to have a good trip. Nor does the food have to literally sing to you from the plate. But if you know youll be taking a long flight and you understand that at some point youre going to need to sleepbecause that baby will not stop screamingthen spend a little more to get the most out of your trip.
If it were only possible to live in the air then wed all be birds
