The Annual World Airline Awards were just handed out and if you’re looking to travel on the best airline in the world, you’ll need to make a reservation on Singapore Airlines. This is the first time Singapore Air has earned the title since 2008, and its fourth win overall. Last year’s number one, Qatar Airlines, drops to number two this year, while Emirates Airlines, which often battled Qatar Airlines for the top spot, drops to four.
As for airlines a little closer to home, Delta is the highest ranking American airline on the list at 37, followed by Alaska at 38th, with JetBlue the only other U.S. carrier in the Top 50 at 42. Overall, Air Canada earned the title of Best Airline in North America for the second year in a row.
