Bangkok’s Mandarin Oriental Hotel and Singapore Airlines were named the best in their sector in an annual Asian business travel survey that also revealed people had become more resigned to no-frills flights.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"More<\/a>About 462 readers of Hong Kong-based Finance Asia magazine took part in an online survey with the results published in the November issue.<\/p>\n

Bangkok’s Mandarin Oriental was named the region’s top hotel for the second year running, followed by the Four Seasons in Hong Kong and the Mandarin Oriental in the same city.<\/p>\n

Singapore Airlines, which regularly wins people’s choice awards, was voted as having the best business and first class service.<\/p>\n

For flights to New York and London, however, Hong Kong’s Cathay Pacific was ranked readers’ preferred airline.<\/p>\n

But while 42 per cent of those polled said flying had become a less pleasant experience, the figure was lower than last year’s 48 per cent, a drop the magazine attributed to greater acceptance of stringent security checks and delays.<\/p>\n

“Perhaps we’ve become inured to the security checks and delays, and are increasingly accepting of the new rules,” wrote Lara Wozniak, the magazine’s editor.<\/p>\n

“That explains why most of our readers were positive about travel – even as 51 per cent responded that they flew more economy class this year than in 2008.”<\/p>\n

With the economic downturn curbing business travel globally, the survey showed for most people, their best inflight experience was getting an upgrade. Attractive ticket prices were the second-most popular perk, the magazine said.<\/p>\n

As for the best place to touch down or take off, Hong Kong International Airport was voted the region’s best.<\/p>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
