National image and face at stake here, wait for the counter balance story!

That was to be expected Interested to see what the Thai response to that, You guys dont know what you are talking about

obviously the results were rigged, they didn't ask enough Thai people!

Just another reason to put the prices up so they can improve next year.

The local bigwigs who frequently fly for free on THAI probably would disagree with this line-up.

Ah yes but after Thai Airways purchases 38 new aircraft it will likely hold No. 1 position for having the biggest accumulated debt of all the international airlines.........beat that!

Thai Airways has nearly double the number of employees per aircraft compared to Singapore Airlines........beat that!

Can Thai Airways sue Skytrax for defamation ? ????

 

Care for another list from this month

What surprised me on the list from the OP is the fall of Qatar (which is #1 in the list here).

Here Air New Zealand on #16!

 

Now make your own list.

2020? A prophecy?

Confused. Both lists refer to skytrax?

But the executives remain optimistic. And get increased bonuses.

In Emirates i suddenly got wet feet last flight....the kitchen was leaking so they gave me dry socks....

 

Then later my thai friend told me he had the same....also sat behind the kitchen.

 

I first thought it came from the toilet and was shocked, even my pants were wet.

I was trying to imagine how your pants could get wet - then I realised you were talking about your trousers.

I always take me shoes of in the plane.

As a person who fly's often, my main focus point is the seat. Nothing else matters. 

 

These editorials are deceptive and annoying because lets be honest - of all the people flying, are you choosing your flights based on the "food" and "service" and "safety record" or on the price and seat configuration.

I boycot airlines where babies can fly for free or reduced tariff.

I boycott airlines that have premium economy seats that are the same width as regular economy. 

 

I also boycott airlines that don't have reverse herringbone seat configurations in business class.  

  Interesting to note the top 10 , all from Asia and the East . The first airline from the  continent of America ( north or south ) is at number 19 .  ( Hawaii is not continental ) .

Flying economy I look for a bit more like in-time service, safety record, age and type of planes, quality of (hub) airports.

2018 listed but still cannot believe it. 

I like EVA more than Cathay. But then China Eastern and Southern are still really good. The worst are all the US airlines. No thank you!

Dem dere pesky Thai trolling farang internet websites at it again

It depends. I fly F so yes, seat does matter but just as equally important so does the service I receive, both on the ground and in the air. Price does play a part but I've switched recently from Emirates to Thai mainly because it's a direct flight. Thai is often more expensive.

 

 

 

Of course THAI isn't there. They keep falling. They're on the verge of going BK. That has to effect their standards.

 

And if they want to survive they need to lower their prices. I fly all the time in and out of BKK and they never come up in a search for near the lowest price, while fine airlines like Qatar and Singapore come up all the time.

 

Why is that?
