Hi Blake - I hope you’re keeping safe and well. I largely agree with you top 5 airports and airlines, but would have put Icelandair higher up. I love flying with them and now regularly travel with them on trans Atlantic trips. I was surprised not to see Singapore in your top five airports. Much love to you from Reading the UK.

Hi Simon, I am well thank you. I have not tried Icelandair trans-Atlantic yet but my 737 and 757 flight the following day were awesome. Could not include Singapore as I have yet to visit!

Yes, it’s hard to beat Qatar. I’ve flown with them on their A380, A350, A320 and B787 and all were hard to fault. 👌 The airline that would give them a run for their money is Singapore. 😍 I know you prefer the A380 to the B747 but I got to fly in a Qantas 747 late last year and given everything that’s happened, am so grateful I did. Check out my new trip report if you’re interested: kzitem.info/news/bejne/s2aP05mlfHqrg4Y

Hello Blake I would have preferred it you had replaced "the" with "my." Why ? Because there are many fine airports / airlines in Asia. After all S'pore Changi and SIA win "best" awards year after year after year. There's also Hong Kong and CX to consider let alone Japan's JL and NH. If you were to sample the latter on a regional flight they would certainly make your top five based on attention to detail.

I don't travel as much as you did, and I won't bother you with everything (I married a Dutch lady I met 23 years ago, so I do have some flights in me, though.) But my favorite flight was ORD-AMS (and back) on Singapore's 777 in 2003. I had flown United and US Air's 777s, and KLM's 747 back then, but Singapore had the best of everything. Best food, best IFE, and best seat. Even the modern flights I've had can't touch it, although KLM's 787 comes close, the fact that an aisle seat puts you too far into the aisle ruins it. Favorite airport, it's close. Yeah, I'm at AMS a lot, and it's a really good airport, and it would be my favorite if it had just one thing. Pre-clearance into the US. And for that, I like Dublin. Sure, I have to fly Aer Lingus to do it, but they are pretty good for a budget airline. Going through customs before flight, and just going through ORD to my luggage instead of their overly curious customs officials (although I find them less curious now that I have kids... go figure) is a lifesaver. If only getting a shuttle to the hotel I sleep, park, flew from to terminal 5 at O'Hare was this easy.

Personally living in Asia and flying extensively my best airports would be: 1. Singapore- wow what an airport, the light and space, ease to navigate. 2. Hong Kong - really great views, free showers and so fun landing here 3. Beijing Daxing - so much superior than PEK and when I’m here I know I’m leaving Beijing for a few days (I live here)..... 4. Tianjin Airport - This airport is super super easy to get to from Beijing just high speed train to Tianjin Railway Station (30 minutes) and 15 minutes subway direct to the airport.... it’s quicker from my house to get to here than PEK. Also very quite, immigration is a breeze and just easy to navigate however nothing really at the airport, just pleasant and mostly the planes departing from here the load factor is significantly less than Beijing Airports therefore seats to yourself etc... Now my worst airports. 1. Phuket Airport - Disorganized mess especially getting visa on arrivals for my wife...be careful here they just chuck your passport in a basket with others and a big big scrum 2. Kula Lumpur Low Cost Terminal - Immigration is a nightmare had to make sure my wife goes through first due to Transit Visa which took an hour and extensive questioning from Immigration Officers then made me afterwards go to separate immigration line because have a UK passport overall 2 hours through immigration and when we come back through passport control took over 2 hrs to progress and we had to push through 100s of people we nearly missed our plane...big big mess. 3. Bangkok Don Mueang Airport - as the same as Phuket...Chaos!!!! Best Airlines.. 1. Tianjin Airlines - long haul....very kind not as professional as Cathy Pacific etc but flying directly from Tianjin to London with a quick stop in Xian for £300 return can’t beat the value.. (now temporary discontinued) 2. Cathy Pacific - wow what an airline very very kind and generous however don’t take the A350 on long haul, slim line seats and uncomfortable 3. Singapore Airlines - feel more superior than Qatar and also it’s a long way round from Beijing to London, two A380 flights and a visit to Singapore however they can be a little pricey will only use these when on a sale

There is no disputing that the first class terminal at Frankfurt looks impressive. For the majority of passengers though , the rest of the airport is definitely not in the same league as many others for me.
