Singapore Airlines wins Top International Airline for 2016 award

Singapore Airlines has recently bagged the prestigious title of “Top International Airline” presented during a gala ceremony to commemorate Travel + Leisure’s World’s Best Awards for 2016. Thousands of frequent fliers and experienced air travelers are invited to take part in a survey and vote for their preferred airlines based on many categories. Apart from airlines, the awards are also presented to best hotels and islands among others.

There are several reasons that play an important part in making Singapore Airlines as the best international airline in the world. Let’s take a look at some of these reasons that have placed Singapore’s national carrier in the top ranks worldwide.

Singapore Airlines has gained immense popularity worldwide for its innovative and exquisite suites installed across its Airbus A380 aircrafts fleet. The suites have been designed by Jean-Jacques Coste, renowned French luxury yacht designer. The private suites assure complete privacy to the customers and are equipped with blinds, sliding doors, separate beds, comfy seats and bathrooms. Among other amenities offered include pajamas, pillows, Givenchy blankets and Ferragamo toiletries. A double room with one queen sized bed can also be created by combining two suites. First Class is also known for its excellent services and prominently features gourmet meals and giant beds.

Business Class is also a class apart in itself and is greatly preferred by premium customers. Those planning to take business class flights can look forward to 78-inch-long fully-flat beds with pillows, duvets and linen. The customers can also keep themselves entertained with an 18-inch HDTV featuring 1,000 different games, songs, movies and TV shows. The state-of-the-art in-flight entertainment system comes along with noise-canceling headphones. Wi-Fi facility is also offered on select flights.

Singapore Airlines also takes care of its economy class customers quite well by offering them wide seats reclining to full eight inches. The economy class seats also features foot and calf rests. Among other amenities offered here include a power socket, two USB ports and a personal 13.3-inch HD touchscreen monitor.
