18.07.2024 - 20:31 / smartertravel.com
Qatar Airways was declared the best airline in the world at the 2024 Airline Awards in London on June 24. Qatar beat out Singapore Airlines, last year’s winner, who slipped to the number two spot this year. Emirates, ANA All Nippon Airways, and Cathay Pacific Airways completed the top five. No North American airline made the top twenty, with Delta narrowly missing out at 21. Other North American airlines that made the top 50 are Air Canada (29) and United Airlines (42). In fact, those three airlines are the only North American airlines to receive any Airline Awards. Other popular North American airlines like American, JetBlue, and Southwest failed to even be mentioned for any individual award.
The top twenty best airlines are:
- Qatar Airways
- Singapore Airlines
- Emirates
- ANA All Nippon Airways
- Cathay Pacific Airways
- Japan Airlines
- Turkish Airlines
- EVA Air
- Air France
- Swiss International Air Lines

The Worst Airlines of 2024 in the US
While Delta, Air Canada and United were the only North American airlines to win individual awards, other North American airlines did make the list, towards the bottom. Other North American airlines in the top 100 were: Alaska (60), WestJet (64), JetBlue (65), American (78), Allegiant (82), Sun Country (86), Breeze (91), Southwest (93), and Hawaiian (99).
Frequently flown budget airlines Spirit, Frontier, and AirTran all failed to make the list, so you may want to avoid them the next time you’re booking a domestic flight.
Best Airlines in Europe
Americans traveling to Europe have plenty of options for top airlines to choose from, depending on where you are flying to. Making the top ten, Air France and Swiss International Airlines ranked ninth and tenth respectively, with British Airways (13), Iberia (15), Virgin Atlantic (17), and Lufthansa (18) all making the top twenty. Other top European airlines are as follows:
Best Western European Airline – Air France

Watsu Therapy Is Making a Comeback at Spas Around the World
“Welcome back,” says the Watsu therapist as I open my eyes. We’re in a dimly lit room, under a domed ceiling freckled with LED lights that mimic constellations. As we emerge out of the circular pool, I feel like I’ve truly been transported out of the space. I'm at JOALI Being, a pampering wellness resort in the Maldives. It might seem an unlikely spot to experience a mind-body epiphany, and yet Watsu—a trademarked, massage-like treatment that takes place in water—has revealed to me much more than a massage (or even a therapy session, to be honest) ever has.
