Your choice of airline

How can you take this seriously when Air India comes 3rd in the best Indian Airline section. If there were only 3 Indian airlines Air India would come 6th.

Welcome to the results of the Business Traveller Awards 2011. Once again you, our readers in the UK, voted to reward those companies whose products and services you really value.

This year's awards were announced at a luncheon today (September 26) in the ballroom of Kensington’s Royal Garden hotel, and presented by author, journalist and radio and television presenter John Humphrys.

Sponsored by Heathrow Express and supported by Panasonic Avionics and Aeromobile, the Business Traveller Awards are voted for by readers of the magazine, with the results authenticated by an independent auditing company, and are widely recognised as the market’s benchmark for excellence. A fixture of the business travel and hospitality calendar for more than 25 years, this year’s hotly contested awards produced a few surprises for the 400 industry leaders at the event.

Ryanair would be my choice every time if it operates on a route I want to use.

I've never known them to be more than a minute behind schedule and their prices are well below others for the same journey.

Imagine Ryanair to Singapore.

Yoga positions the entire way, cabin staff trying to sell you an hour in bed with their mother and that awful tune when you land - Letting you know that yet another Ryanair flight has landed on time...

No thanks.

SIA for me.

Air Asia X Gatwick to KL, at their best sale price for me, no yoga needed.

"authenticated by an independent auditing company"

Didn't Gordon Brown claim that as well?

Price aside there is no other airline on this planet that comes remotely close to a SIA direct from London.

That said I do like the regional Air Asia (having never flown them outside of Asia)

Launched in the UK in 1976 Business Traveller is the leading magazine around the world for the frequent business traveller........ It would be interesting to see how British Airways would fair in a poll conducted by the leading magazine around the world for the infrequent economy passenger.

Well obviously I'm talking short haul flights here anyway!

But we once flew with Caledonian from Florida and it was a nightmare. Couldn't move a muscle, the seat pitch was so small, and there was no way on earth you could have taken your lifejacket from under the seat if you'd needed to...there just wasn't enough room to reach down.

My knees were bruised for a week from being crushed into the back of the seat in front. Ryanair has NEVER been that bad.
