  • Random 'The Age' poll on readers' favourite airline - SQ tops list

    Stumbled upon this while looking through the The Age's (Melbourne broadsheet) online polling archives. It's just a small online poll, but for what it's worth:

    International carrier : Which is your preferred international carrier?

    Qantas - 31%
    British Airways - 5%
    Malaysian Airlines - 4%
    Singapore Airlines - 34%
    KLM - 1%
    Emirates - 25%

    Total Votes: 495 Poll date: 04/07/06
    Source: theage.com.au

    Politically I've never liked the Age but this might just have marginally raised my opinion of them.

    I've always held the hypothesis that the Sydney-centrism of QF means that for many Melbournians seeking to travel overseas, SQ is the default home carrier 'Connecting Melbourne 3 times daily to rest of the world.' SQ often shines in the range of destinations offered and the convenience of a more or less direct route on many of these destinations (you'd have to go via SYD or SIN on many QF routes anyway). And of course - the legendary SQ service, though to be fair QF has re-positioned itself since 2002 as a fairly strong competitor service-wise. JMHO. *Paffy we need a flame shield smiley*

    Bizarrely, the poll also included KLM and BA when both airlines have not flown to MEL since yonks ago.

    If the poll had come from the Herald Sun the answers might have been different . . ....

      Congratulations to those 168 people who voted for Singapore Airlines!

      I feel sorry for the rest. Obviously good taste still is sparse in the world
