SIA is #2, just edged out by Cathay Pacific! Never flew with CP before so don't know the quality. However, I think SIA quality has certainly dropped compared to few years ago.

My experience flying in SIA in Sept 08 to Korea and back to Melbourne wasn't so pleasant to say the least!

Anyway, will be flying with Air Asia and MAS this year, let's see how good they're now!

Cathay Pacific is terrible. Lousy air cond. Extremely small leg room. No video on demand.

Im surprised they are no 1...make me doubt how reliable skytrax really is.

Hey sorry if this is totally random but I see you're involved in MiCasa8 quite a bit. You have any idea if we could sign up with a third party internet provider, e.g. Optus?
