Airlines...?

Based on prices, I have narrowed my selection of suitable Airlines down to 7 options: Singapore, Thai, Malaysia, Air New Zealand, Royal Brunei, Cathay Pacific, & British Airways. (See Poll on left)  ====>



Most of these airlines are foreign to me but I have been told that there's nothing wrong with them - which makes my decision that much harder.

So my question to you is:

Which airline would you fly with based on - comfort (for a 30+hr flight), unwanted scary meals (grasshopper with a side of raw fish eyeballs), space (I'm claustrophobic & don't wanna have to climb over or have to share half my seat with a fat sweaty person who I'll most definitely get stuck next to), service (how nice they are), and anything else you can think of to weigh up pros & cons of an airline.


So remember - my happiness during my flight/s may very well depend on which airline you recommend.





(I personally like the blue & green one on the top right)

Having flown that trip so many times here's my advice:

Space-wise Malaysia has the biggest leg-room. Singapore cabin crew are absolutely beautiful. Royal Brunei don't serve alcohol but you can BYO seemingly. Thai are great but I'm a bit biased cos I flew Business Class with them so can't really judge lol. Cathay are good as well but I haven't flown with them for a while. Haven't flown long-haul with Air NZ.

I would also advise having one night stopover if you can cos I can assure you that 30 hr nonstop flight is an absolute killer and will knock you out for about a week at least.

Hope that gives you some help lol

Also regarding food - most of the asian airlines give you a choice of either a western style meal or their own style. Usually their local food is really nice and quite 'normal' so don't worry about that side of things.
