Ever wondered which are the best airlines in Europe? Which Airline’s first-class cabin is the most luxurious or which business-class seat has the most amenities? Considering flying transatlantic but want to make sure you get the best for your money? Well, then do not look any further than this list of the best European airlines, to experience the best of the best.
- Lufthansa:
Over the past couple of years, Europe’s largest airline has been in the top 10. For its overall product quality and exceptional service, customers have always praised Lufthansa. Lufthansa’s long-haul service is good for the most part, but if you are looking for the best results, it would be wise to go for the fleet’s newer A380 and 748-8 jumbo jets.
- Turkish Airlines:
The flag carrier of Turkey, Turkish Airlines has its main hub at Istanbul’s Ataturk Airport. The airline’s reach to fly to over 100 countries and over 200 cities worldwide, turns its home base into a global transit hub.
Even though security concerns and political unrest have made life more complex for Turkish Airlines, the carrier’s product offerings, and high-quality service remain unvaried.
It won awards for Best Airline in Southern Europe, Best Business Class Airline Lounge, Best Business Class Lounge Dining and Best Business Class Onboard Airline Catering.
- Swiss International Air Lines:
Emerged in 2002 from the remnants of the now inoperative Swissair, Swiss International Air Lines is now a member of the Lufthansa corporate family. The Basel-based carrier became the first in the world to operate the next generation Bombardier C-Series airliner in 2016.
Though some passengers found economy seat uncomfortable, most fliers praised the cabin crew for its friendly service and the airline for its wide choices of complimentary adult beverages.
And the complimentary Swiss chocolate is always a fan favorite.
- Austrian Airlines:
The Lufthansa-owned carrier in 2017 once again took home the award for Best Airline Staff Service in Europe. The Austrian flag carrier includes a fleet of newly renovated long-haul Boeing 777-200 and 767-300ER jets flying out of its base from Vienna.
Economy passengers gave the Star Alliance member high marks for its effective and efficient service, as well as for the variety of onboard dining and entertainment options.
- Air France:
Even though Air France’s renewal took a slight step backward last year, the airline’s quality and service remain top notch. The carrier has suffered through a series of labor and financial issues over the past couple of years. But this hasn’t stopped Air France from rolling out an exciting lineup of new product offerings, including the wonderful “La Premiere” first-class suites.
