The 2025 London based Skytrax 100 airline rankings are now out.

No big changes in the top 10. Qatar Airways retains the top spot so be prepared to be pampered Cherryann on your forthcoming flight to Jakarta at least on the 1st leg. Garuda Indonesia though have dropped from 31 to 46 but I鈥檓 sure they will look after you on the 2nd leg.

For our American friends good news if you are flying in from the west coast. The Taiwanese carrier Starlux Airlines has rocketed from 34th place to 18. Without doubt one of the most exciting new players to enter the aviation arena in Asia . A dedicated in flight smooth jazz channel to boot.

Moreover as of January 2026 they are introducing a new service from Phoenix Arizona using shiny new Airbus 350鈥檚. I know Pncyclist is based near there so certainly one to consider. Starlux fly into Manila and Cebu from Taipei.

More routes are in the pipeline for Europe and the states.

This will be my 8th trip to the Philippines and the second time with Qatar Airlines. Previously I have flown with Emirates, Cathay Pacific (x2) and Saudi Airlines. I forget the airlines I used on my other 2 trips but for me Qatar were the best so far. I am not looking forward to the return leg though from Cebu to Doha which is scheduled to take 13 hours with a 90 minute technical stop in Davao. I am seriously thinking of bidding for an upgrade on this leg of the journey if I get the chance to do so. I did have a similar experience on my first trip to the Philippines with Emirates and remember a short technical stop in Clark on my way from Cebu to Dubai.
