Long Beach, CA USA (25 September 2017) – Members of the Airline Passenger Experience Association (APEX) gathered in California Monday night to honor the winners of the 2017 Passenger Choice Awards (PCAs). The Awards recognize excellence in seat comfort, cabin service, food and beverage, entertainment and Wi-Fi.
This year, APEX elevated the highly anticipated Passenger Choice Awards by partnering with TripIt® from Concur®, the world’s highest-rated travel-organizing app, to gather anonymous passenger feedback based on verified travel itineraries.
Using a five-star scale, more than 500,000 flights were rated by passengers from around the world between 24 October 2016 and to 31 July 2017. First, passengers rated their overall flight experience, and then were given the opportunity to provide ratings in five subcategories: seat comfort, cabin service, food and beverage, entertainment, and Wi-Fi. The overall ratings were certified by an external auditing service hired by APEX and used to establish the airline’s Official Airline Ratings™, with the ratings from the five subcategories being used to determine the Passenger Choice Awards.
2017 APEX PASSENGER CHOICE WINNERS ARE: •Virgin America: Best Seat Comfort
•Qatar Airways: Best Cabin Service
•Qatar Airways: Best Food & Beverage
•Emirates: Best Entertainment
•JetBlue: Best Wi-Fi
