Skytrax has an annual award ceremony in Paris to name the world’s top airlines as voted by their members.  I was looking through the list to see how many I have personally flown.  In the list below, I have weeded out airlines I have flown throughout my traveling life which began in the early 80’s and bolded the ones I have flown in business class and they are shown in the order in which Skytrax has ranked them with airlines I haven’t flown omitted.

Many of these trips and certainly all the business class ones would never have been possible without the use of miles and points!  The full list including rankings and scores can be found here.

IMPORTANT NOTE
The Survey covered more than 320 airlines, but Skytrax do not publish more than this Top 100 Airlines.  Looking back at my personal list, I can’t help but feel incredibly lucky and blessed to have had these experiences!  I am pleased to see Asian, Australian & New Zealand carriers rated so highly as these will form the bulk of my travel from 2019 onwards as I deplete my miles stash and start flying more short haul flights.  Even our low-cost carrier, Jetstar outranked American and United!
