Airline of the year

THIS YEAR, DUBAI-BASED AIRLINE EMIRATES celebrates 25 years of flying to Sydney.

- 

Since those early Singapore/Sydney flights in 2000 - just four a week - the airline has expanded to offer 77 weekly flights in and out of Australia, connecting passengers to 140 destinations globally from Sydney, Brisbane, Melbourne, Perth and Adelaide. This consistency, as well as the airline's celebrated service, food and reputation for its luxurious upper tiers, explains why Gourmet Traveller readers picked Emirates as their favourite way to fly.
