Safest Airlines
 
The safest airline in the world is apparently Finnair, Finlands national airline with Air New Zealand close second. Qantas are way down in 13th behind Virgin, British Airways, Singapore etc. I dont think I have ever even seen Finnair fares on any comparisons I have done.

Oh OK, so they probably dont do a huge amount of long haul flights.

I must admit I would choose to fly with anyone other than Emirates or Singapore but quite a few airlines have pulled their socks up in recent times because of the increased competition.

Chris is looking for a bite. Ok I'll bite. Qantas is not the safest airline in the world because they play the entertainment system before departure and the drop an engine or 2 out of Singapore - so who cares. Nice try

Not really big on gardening to be honest, I prefer the gardens that more or less look after themselves or at least someone else looks after them.

I flew UK to Bangkok with them and also UK to Beijing some years ago. Mainly because it was a cheap business class, not a good one though, food awful.
