Travel + Leisure re-posted their list of top international airlines for 2020 on Twitter. Since people are out traveling again, it is worth another look.
Singapore Airlines came in at number one. A few years ago, I would have agreed with that, but my 2015 trip to Japan with them soured me a little. Leg room was horrible (my flights were aboard Airbus A380s) and the service wasn't as good as the first time I flew with them in 2004.
My favorite airline to Japan, Korean Air, didn't even make the list. Oh, well.
The list of top 10 international airlines begins with:
This year’s World’s Best Awards survey closed on March 2, just before widespread stay-at-home orders were implemented as a result of COVID-19. The results reflect our readers’ experiences before the pandemic, but we hope that this year’s honorees will inspire your trips to come — whenever they may be.
The best international airlines in the world seem to pull off the nearly impossible: they not only connect travelers with some of the coolest destinations on the planet but also do it with the grace and panache that guests find at some of the world’s best hotels. While Travel + Leisure readers loved the premium cabins that these airlines offer on ultra-long-haul flights, they also had praise for the service, and even the economy-class seats, of these winners.
Every year for our World’s Best Awards survey, T+L asks readers to weigh in on travel experiences around the globe — to share their opinions on the top hotels, resorts, cities, islands, cruise ships, spas, airlines, and more. In the airlines category, readers rated carriers on cabin comfort, service, food, customer service, and value.
