Congratulations, MAS
"Adding one more feather to its cap, Malaysia's national carrier Malaysia Airlines (MAS) has been admitted to the most exclusive group of world airlines: it has received the ranking of a "5 Star" airline by the aviation rating organization, Skytrax.
Including Malaysian Airlines, there are now only four airlines in the world which have been given the 5-Star ranking, the other three being Singapore Airlines, Cathay Pacific Airways and Qatar Airways."
Interesting, all of them are Asian airliners. I wonder where is Southwest Airlines of the US, or JetBlue? But may be the award doesn't include low-cost-carriers or domestic airliners

To my understanding from an article I read before, Americans generally treat airplanes as nothing more than 'coaches on wings'. Hence the lower priority on the finer details.

Nice....I was wondering about the board "Best Cabin Crew" when I drive to the airport. I even saw it when I was in Jakarta International Airport.
I would say MAS is pretty good compare to other airline. But JAL is not there as well? hmmm.....
Southwest is not national airline, I guess that is why they are not rated.
