Forbes Travel Guide, the renowned authority on luxury hospitality, recently announced the winners of its inaugural Verified Air Travel Awards. These awards recognize the best experiences in air travel, including airlines, airports, and private jet services. The 2024 awards showcase a diverse range of winners, highlighting excellence in various categories such as Best U.S. Airline, Best International Airline, Best Small Airline, Best U.S. Airport, Best International Airport, and Best International Airport Lounge.
Among the winners are industry giants like Delta Air Lines, Emirates, La Compagnie, LaGuardia, Singapore Changi, and the Louis Vuitton Lounge by Yannick Alléno in Doha. These prestigious accolades were determined through an invitation-only survey of 5,000 well-traveled individuals in the hospitality industry, including luxury travel advisors, FTG’s incognito inspectors, and Learning & Development experts. Forbes Travel Guide, known for its rigorous Star Ratings system for hospitality, validated the results to ensure credibility and integrity.
The Verified Air Travel Awards stand out from other industry accolades by focusing on real-world experiences and accountability rather than popularity contests. As noted by travel journalist Peter Greenberg, these awards provide a credible and relevant definition of excellence based on the unbiased opinions of seasoned travelers and reliable facts. In a world saturated with luxury brands, the Verified Air Travel Awards offer discerning travelers a trusted guide to the best experiences in air travel.
Hermann Elger, CEO of Forbes Travel Guide, emphasized the importance of meeting travelers‘ high expectations in today’s competitive travel landscape. Travelers no longer want to wait until they reach their destination to experience exceptional service, dining, and comfort. The Verified Air Travel Awards serve as a valuable resource for guiding travelers towards top-notch experiences that exceed their expectations.
