A survey by Skyscanner of 4,000 UK passengers found that British Airways came first in four of the five categories surveyed, but the best value for money was from Norwegian.
British Airways came top for:
- food and drink
- customer service
- onboard experience
- style
Norwegian came top in ‘best value for money’ and was in the top three for on board experience, customer service and style.
Scandinavian airlines also saw success with SAS, the national airline for Sweden, taking second place for its food and drink and third place for style.
Low cost giant easyJet came second in the ‘best value for money’ category, with British Airways taking third place, while Ryanair failed to make it to the top five.
