I thought people may be interested in the highly subjective and (in some cases) slightly controversial choices for the Monocle Travel Top Fifty 2007/8, e.g.
1 - The world's most efficient transit hub - HND
4 - Most daring airline innovation - JL's domestic F
18 - Best uniform - OZ
20 - Best way to fly between LAX and JFK - QF
21 - The leader in airline lounges - CX
25 - Best international airport - MUC
29 - Most ambitious carrier - AY
32 - Best in-flight entertainment - CX
33 - Best short-haul catering - LH
42 - Best airline livery - LH
44 - Best long-haul J catering - NH
45 - Best long-haul F - NH
(I've omitted the justification given for each of the above.)
There are some nice pictures also of the Japanese Emperor and Government's customised 744's.
