Airlines

Which air line do you think is best for long distances - British airways,
Qantas or Singapore airlines? Safelty is, of course, the main thing!!

Don't know about safety, but SQ is by far the the best when it comes to
comfort/entertainment/service/food.

'The main thing'?!? Do you mean to say that when planning a flight you
look at all the options and say 'Right, A and B are safer than C and D.
Now I will look at lesser matters, such as fare, convenience of schedule
etc.'? If so, you are certainly in a small minority. Commercial air
travel is safe, full stop. The number of injuries or deaths on a
per-passenger, per-flight basis is probably fewer than victims getting
struck by lightning on the golf course. Far more people are smashed in
and by automobiles every year.

Thanks for your reply - I intended to fly from Oz to the UK. which takes
quite a while. I think service etc is very important; even though I will be
travelling economy but safety is still the main thing.
