Monocle’s highly anticipated Travel Top Fifty survey hit newsstands yesterday. Utilising the first-hand experiences of Monocle’s well-travelled editorial team, the Travel Top Fifty recognises outstanding contributions to travel, ranging from “Best inflight meal” through to “Best taxi journey”.

‘Lufthansa continues to impress the editors and correspondents and this year two parts of the business were outstanding. On the ground, you can’t get much better than Munich Airport – it’s for this reason it’s ranked as our smoothest international hub. From the short connection times to range of routes to improved lounge experience, it should be a model for airports around the world,’ says Monocle editor in chief Tyler Brûlé.

“In the air, the Lufthansa Private Jet product takes the complexity out of chartering with its friendly support team assisting with logistics and an incredible team flying its custom fleet of aircraft.” Lufthansa is one of the high performers in the survey, receiving two awards: No. 35, Best Service for When You Just Have to Get There. Lufthansa Private Jet’s fleet is recognised for its ability to connect with the airline’s global network and No. 04, Smoothest International Hub. Lufthansa’s hub Munich Airport is applauded for its seamless and efficient connectivity making it the natural choice for travellers in Europe

“We are very pleased to feature in Monocle’s highly regarded Travel Top Fifty for the second subsequent year. The award clearly demonstrates that our on-going efforts to make our products even more comfortable and smarter are well received by our customers,” .
