Like every year Travel + Leisure World’s Best is out. The list, voted by travellers and readers, compile the best touristic cities, islands, hotels, airline companies, cruises, etc.

So what’s in there for the Flashpacker?

While some of that info are irrelevant to Flashpackers, some are quite useful. Best hotel in the world? Well quite surely it will not be in a Flashpacker budget. Best touristic city? Does that mean chock full of tourists? Best airline company? Well for short distance flights usually Flashpackers will travel on low-cost airlines, consoling themselves thinking that it’s still better than a 19 hours bus ride.

When it comes to long-hauls flights though low-cost airlines haven’t got there yet, and often prices online are quite competitive even for the best companies. So if you have to, while not doing it on an airline company that will sure give you a great service?

Long-hauls Flashpackers, here’s the Travel + Leasure list of the best Airlines for this year.

1. Singapore Airlines
2. Emirates Airline
3. Thai Airways International
4. Cathay Pacific Airway
5. SilkAir
6. Japan Airlines (JAL)
7. All Nippon Airways (ANA)
8. Virgin Atlantic Airways
9. Air Tahiti Nui
10. Korean Air

All details and the rest of the Best of 2008 here. Wishing you all a Happy and Stylish Flashpacking.
