Best Budget Airlines In Asia

From Macau:

AirAsia has been named Best Budget Airline in Asia for the third consecutive year in the annual SmartTravelAsia.com poll, beating out Jetstar Asia and Nok Air.
“The poll is a broad measure of the newer airlines' ability to deliver not just low prices and cheap tickets, but also reliable schedules, decent service - and the occasional smile,” says SmartTravelAsia.com.
With 30 percent of the votes, AirAsia maintained a strong lead, with Jetstar Asia next with 22.5 percent of the vote and Thai Airways' Nok Air with 8.4 , reports ETravel Blackboard.
Rounding out the top five were Tiger Airways and Cebu Pacific. The other airlines in the 10 finalists were Virgin Blue, Air Deccan, SpiceJet, Viva Macau and Hong Kong Express.
Indisputably top of their list as the first choice, is Singapore Changi Airport, which secured a solid 33 percent of the vote to propel it upwards from second in 2007 (then with 16.8 percent of the votes). Clearly, the shopping facilities, greenery, and colour – as well as the addition of gleaming Terminal 3 – have made Changi a formidable competitor.
In the Best Airports Worldwide survey, Hong Kong International Airport fell from first to second position.
Hong Kong’s Chek Lap Kok secured 14.6 percent of the vote (a drop from 22.4 percent in 2007). Hong Kong airport (which ranked first in 2006) was comfortably clear of third-ranked rival, Suvarnabhumi Airport Bangkok, a vast improvement on the old Don Muang Airport. Suvarnabhumi picked up a solid 10.5 percent of the votes indicating it has sorted out much of its earlier teething issues. It improved by one position over 2007.
