When you book a ticket for flying abroad for business or pleasure, what are factors that influence your choices? We assume that the obvious one is the ticket fare. But we think that it doesn’t hurt to look beyond the price though. Because all airlines take you to your destination (we hope), but some make the entire flight a memorable experience. We think that it is a pleasure to fly with the following airlines:
Singapore Airlines
Singapore Airlines usually tops the traveller’s choice for its impeccable inflight services and ultra-comfortable seats. This airline keeps itself abreast with all the new technological developments. A new entertainment system is its latest addition.
Emirates Airlines
Of all the many things Emirates Airlines offer, we totally dig the award-winning cuisine they serve onboard. The premium flyers are pampered with luxuries such as lounges and in-flight showers. The airport lounges at all the major destinations are also a sure winner.
Qatar Airways
Another favourite from the Middle East, Qatar Airways has the distinction of having one of the youngest fleet of ultra-long haul airlines. The Boeing 787 Dreamliner and Airbus A350, both of which are part of its fleet, allows lower cabin pressure and higher humidity. This goes a long way in reducing the effects of jet lag.
Cathay Pacific
Cathay Pacific connects passengers between U.S and the Far East. What we totally love about Cathay Pacific is that they go an extra mile to ensure your comfort during the long-haul flights. The cuisine that is inspired by top chefs have been talked about a lot. The award-winning first and business class cabins are also something to look forward to.
Qantas Airways
The flag carrier of Australia, Qantas Airlines has many things going in its favour. They have in its fleet, the Airbus A380 to fly one of the longest hauls between Dallas to Sydney. Apart from the obvious deal makers such as top class food, we simply adore the premium economy section. Thanks to extra legroom and a snack bar.
