World's best airline awards 2015

Do you have a Cambodian trip report you want to share? Post it here, and feel free to link to your blog if it's a travel blog for Cambodia, South East Asia, or anywhere really. You can ask and answer questions about travel advice in Cambodia or just share your pictures and videos with us. Most people who live in or visit Cambodia have also checked out nearby countries like Vietnam, Thailand, Laos, Myanmar, Malaysia, Indonesia and the Philippines, and you can get to most of these countries by traveling overland, so put any travel plans, reviews or questions here. Discussions about dirt bike trails in here as well.

I've flown Vietnam a few times and have no complaints, but I thought that China and China Eastern were considered terrible and I've avoided flying with both. So, how improved is vastly improved ?
No complaints about Air France either, even before they improved: good food and champagne in economy. What's not to like ?

I tried Air France, but no more in Cambodia now.
AirAsia World's best low-cost. Dose it mean it is the cheapest?

It means that it's been voted as the best of the cheap airlines.
THE AWARD DETAILS
The Award for the world's Best Low-Cost Airline represents the global ratings achieved by all low-cost carriers. As a Quality distinction, the award is based upon customer satisfaction assessment of product and staff service standards supplied by the airline in both the cabin and airport environments. AirAsia is named the World's Best Low-Cost airline for the 7th consecutive year, with Norwegian named the world's Best Long Haul Low-Cost Airline and Best Low-Cost Airline in Europe.
Definition of low-cost airline:
A low-cost carrier or low-cost airline (also known as a no-frills, discount or budget carrier or airline, or LCC) is an airline that generally has lower fares and fewer comforts. To make up for revenue lost in decreased ticket prices, the airline may charge for extras like food, priority boarding, seat allocating, and baggage etc.

No problem voting for Qatar and Air Asia. Qatar's been my regular LHR-BKK the last few times and I thought the overall comfort, service and price was excellent so not surprised they came out top. Not a fan of the new Doha terminal, for nostalgia's stake Schipol's my favourite for the sausage rolls :D Use Air Asia for BKK-PNH and they've always been on time which is all I want on a short haul really.

A bit surprised to see Garuda on the list.

I always fly Bangkok Airways PHN-BKK-PHN. Can't beat free food/coffee/lounge at both airports, and an inflight meal with drinks in 55min. And they land at the big boys airport that has good connections. I did fly AirAsia X business KL-Syd-KL and loved the layflat bed, but the AirAsia airport at KL is something to avoid.

I'd rank Vietnam Airlines over Qantas any day. Frankly I'm sick of Qantas screeching that it's the national carrier of Australia/claiming to NOT be the national carrier of Australia depending on the circumstance.

I used to be a big miles whore (churning credit cards, mileage runs etc) and I've flown most of the Asian carriers on the list and off (+Qantas & Air NZ) in 1st and the rest of 'em in Biz. I'm surprised not to see Asiana in the top 10. If you're sitting up front they're as good as anybody. Great hub too. I'll take ICN over HKG or SIN any day. Air NZ seems like an obvious omission too. Eva is great in Biz now as well. Same seats as Cathay, they serve you Dom, and the lounges in TPE rock now. The food on the plane isn't as good as the rest though. BKK Air is maybe the best Regional Carrier I've flown, but I can''t make myself pay 2 or 3 X Air Asia's price for a 1 hr flights. I only fly 'em if I can't book a few weeks in advance. The price differential close in is negligible. Cathay's lounges at HKG are by far the best I've been to with Thai's 1st Class at BKK a close 2nd. Qantas has the best One World Lounge at BKK. Shits all over Cathay's surprisingly.
