Skytrax Annual Awards

[MooTime]

Oh FFS, it’s a fair indication of the problems QF has had.

Exactly.

 

[Scarlett]

Fair list, but I’d suggest that’s despite $kytrax rather than because of it.

Oman?
Any of the Lufty group?
KLM?
Yet Iberia is there?

Any of the Lufty group?

Swiss is there at #12 which is not unreasonable. They offer better product than their parent IMHO.

*Forehead slap*
Yeah, missed that.

Everyone rates airlines differently but personally I think Oman has the best overall J product I’ve been on. It has probably been close to 10 years since my last AF long haul J and I thought they were very ordinary but going to fly with them early next year in their A350 so really keen to see how they go.
Suprised Hainan is so high even though I’ve had some wonderful J flights with them but I still prefer the MF product and have them as the best Chinese airline IMO

the Etihad J has the WOW factor!

$kytrax 2024 awards are in and QR is back on top.
Yes it's paid to some degree but it's still recognised.

Also Qantas out of the top 20.

I don't think Qantas has gotten meaningfully worse since 2022 to go from 5th to >20th, although I suppose they probably never deserved 5th place to begin with.

[kamchatsky]

AJ has left. QF forgot to change the direct debit detail to Skytrax as AJ's corporate credit card was cancelled.

 

[encryptededdy]

Maybe I put too much weight on seat width/comfort, but I personally don't agree with CX and QR at the top of best economy class. 10-abreast economy class on the 777 is just awful. At least the likes of SQ and JL keep 9-abreast.
