Below an interesting counter article re the latest ‘Best airlines’ ratings. I would be very surprised that Lufthansa would make the 10 list since Germans are not really known for their ‘fine cuisine’… Even the Wiene Schnitzel isn’t really German – whereas Sauerkraut und Eisbein are more along German fare. I am ALSO surprised to read that none of the East Asian carriers made it on the list.

I find this article quite good as a counter balance and offer some perspective from people within the industry, granted, their focus isn’t solely on BC or First Class.

Swiss Is better than Lufthansa but not by much. My recent Experience with Turkish from BKK-IST-ATL was actually below my expectations and I didn’t like the food I got. Emirates and Qatar have had hands down best food on an Airline I’ve ever had. Etihad and Cathay are a close second IMO. I’m excited to try Singapore and Asiana soon, I’ll tell you later. I just tried Iberian’s food. Wasn’t as good as Swiss or Lufthansa or other Euro Airliners but it was better than BA, TAP, and SAS food, IMO. It’s getting major improvements and it’s becoming one of the better airliners in Europe.

Singapore Airlines in First Class definitely…but their Business Class catering leaves a lot to be desired. Flights out of Singapore fare better in this regard than those from other stations but still there is room for improvement in quality and quantity.

I have siblings that live in Europe. Hands down, IMHO, Lufthansa is superb. In fact even though it requires me to layover in FRA, their inflight First Class service is outstanding! I enjoy the First a Class terminal and the private shower rooms to refresh before I continue onto ZRH OR ARN depending which sibling I’m going to. The few times I’ve flown business it was without complaint.

In reply to The Luxury Travel Expert.Tough call. Probably Qatar business class which was better than many First class including SQ and CX.

Swiss food is definitely not better than LH. No idea how LX did make it on the top ten but LH not.

In reply to Jan.That was a typo indeed. Thanks for catching that. Turkish Airlines only has Economy and Business Class indeed. What airline is your favorite when it comes to food?

I have been fortunate enough to try most of these but never in a short enough time frame to accurately compare. I was surprised to read Turkish has a first class though. News to me.

In reply to Emma Conaty.Thank you, Emma, for your very kind message. When you decide to stay at Soneva Jani, let me know before you make any booking since I can get you an upgrade there (read more here: /2016/08/12/free-upgrade-at-soneva/). I am going back to Soneva Jani next year, and then continuing from the Maldives to Sri Lanka for my first vacation on the island. I have not been there before, so I cannot really recommend any hotels, but I booked myself in both Aman properties (Amanwella and Amangalla) as well as the hotels of the Resplendent Ceylon group. Kind regards
