Skytrax, a top tier air travel review website, has revealed the best airlines for 2019.

 

The top airline is Qatar Airways, for the fifth year in a row. It’s followed by Singapore Airlines, All Nippon Airways, and Cathay Pacific.

 

Nearly 22 million folks voted in the survey, which measured cabin service, ground/airport efficiency, and last but not least, on-board service.

 

What about the world’s cleanest airline? That would be EVA Air. The top airline catering award also went to the Taiwanese carrier. And here’s a surprise — the award was for economy class food.

 

And who won for comfort? There’s another surprise winner. Japan Airlines took the honors for the best airline seats.
