So far as per my experience QA is one of the racist Airline I have ever found. Wn u travel to or from Western or American Countries you get best services from them whereas if u travel to asian or developing countries their service sucks. No blankets, bees flying inside.

Surveys suck! How many people were able to travel on all airlines to be able to undertake an objective comparison? Also, how many people took part in the survey, how were they surveyed and what questions were they asked? Inherent bias' and rope for marketing manipulation!
Don't believe these things at all..

Here and now

As we know, it is run by Qatar Airways.
The funny thing is, they have this Duty Free Shop magazine on QA airplanes and they offer many items, including whiskey. BUT....when you are bounding to Doha, they refuse to sell you any alcohol. (They would serve you alcohol to drink on the plane, but they would not sell you any, as long as your final destination is Doha)...This is sooooooo weird

Actually I've never had a bad trip with Qatar Airways. And they are EXCELLENT with kids (much better than Delta).

However, I have to say, my last flight with Fly Dubai was actually really good.

Way better tahsinmim, and their food and in-flight entertainment is way better as well. The only issue is that you need to pay extra for it (but not much).

If you like old wines, you should be flying Air Canada. Some of those French Canadian battleaxes can hardly shuffle down the aisle. Viva Le Unions!!!

Ranking looks odd. QA shouldnt even be considered when it comes to Cabin COmfort.. with more than half of its routes operated with NARROW BODY A320/319 and 321s...

How can you compare an autorikshaw with a Merc?? Emirates doesnt even have a single narrow body jet in their fleet.

ergh, Air Canada or even worse Air Transat. Old Canadian battleaxes who tell me I've had too much too drink and I can't have another one! Shame on them. The nice Asian ladies on QA keep the drinks coming all flight long, although I'm begining to suspect they only do that to take advantage of me when we get back to the hotel.

I agree with gestapos_qatar

Long haul flights on Qatar Airways Business Class are not really comfortable because seats are not fully flat bed. They are angled which means you keep sliding down and does not make it a comfortable sleeping position.

Airlines of the industrialized nations have well-paid staff, crew and flight attendants. Professional. Most of the non-industrialized nations have crew that are paid slave wages, so the airlines can use the savings on amenities.

Often the quality of the flight depends on the type of people sitting around you. But for food, I'd say Turkish Airways (or Airlines or whatever) or Singapore Airlines.

Anyone familiar with Kayak.com? My friend flies around Asia for like $20.

Haha MM... lots of old wine in ugly bottles... flying Air India too...

Actually Qatar Airways has expanded so much that they have quite a few advantages compared to others:
1. Check in is available up to 36hrs prior to flight.
2. They have multiple flights on almost all days of the week to destinations.
3. They have given themselves (unlike other airlines) the Home advantage. ie Check in can be done last as they have placed themselves nearest to the Airport building and you enter the aircraft directly from the Building through the ramp. For all other Airlines one has to take a bus.

In flight crew & service are ok... Food is bad in all airlines.

I like Emirates though also as you get alot of free upgrades unlike Star Alliance service members.

The Virgin Airlines should not be on the list. I would replace them with Malaysian Airlines and Qantas. And rejuggle the list...
