Singapore Airlines may be the world’s best airline, according to a new survey by SkyTrax. Here’s why the airline made the cut.

If you want to fly premium, the best route around the globe is via Singapore. Travellers voted Singapore Airlines the best carrier in the world, according to SkyTrax, which surveys more than 20 million fliers every year. It was also named the best in first-class. This is the fourth time the Asian company is winning the honours since the annual award was established in 1999.
