I'm sure if QF won the awards then some of the replies would be different.

Rob, think many would disagree and say the same about Qantas and it's awards. Like for example it is current #8 according to Skytax in front of Emirates who are #10. In the same awards Turkish is number 9. How?

congrats to V Australia on getting the awards ! I agree with Rob , seems that some people just can't accept that Qantas is not the airline it used to be , .......credit where credit is due ,

Ummm, actually Dave if you read what I wrote I was surprised that Qantas beat Emirates in Skytrax! It really speaks volumes about what these 'awards' are all about. I take them all with a grain of salt, especially when you consider the science behind how the results are collected.

Like I mean to say how could an airline like Avianca have the best inflight publication, or an airline like Virgin Atlantic be the best in Europe or, yes V Australia be the best in Asia and Australasia when it has a couple of routes compared to quality competitors like Singapore, Thai, Cathay, Air New Zealand and yes Qantas.

The awards seem to be well stacked towards the Virgin group of companies...perhaps they just advertised the survey better than most?

Careful Nigel, you might get accused of being a Qantas sympathiser, for stating the bleeding obvious.
