Virgin Atlantic voted best for amenities
April 23, 2008Virgin Atlantic has been voted the best airline for amenities, according to a new survey by SeatGuru.com.
The poll quizzed more than 1,600 global travellers about in-flight entertainment preferences, asking respondents to rank airlines according to their performance.
Virgin Atlantic secured first place for amenities and Singapore Airlines came on top for quality of airline food. All three top spots for both polls were shared by those two airlines along with British Airways.
The survey also revealed that 44 per cent of passengers regard seat-mounted television sets to be the most valuable in-flight entertainment feature - while 26 per cent say a full meal is their most highly-prized comfort feature.
"At the end of the day, a TV dinner is all flyers are really asking for," remarked Matt Daimler of SeatGuru.com.
The least valued amenity was identified as complimentary snacks, which more than a third of passengers said they would happily do without in exchange for a cheaper fare.
