Frequent traveller awards usually seem to list Emirates and Singapore as the best. I'll need to dig up the link. Virgin Atlantic gets an honourable mention. The big US carriers rarely get listed in the "most popular" contests, with NWA consistently ranked among the worst.
Very interesting list, i only knew about the first 6...
Thanks and great 🙂
I've just had a thought....don't Ryanair and easyjet have over 100 aircraft 
Why aren't they on the list 😕
