- We vigorously scour the globe for our Travel Top Fifty survey – it helps that we get to all the main business hubs almost weekly and report from well over 100 countries every year. Lufthansa’s receipt of four of our fifty category awards reflects an intelligent, clever airline that is dedicated to service”, stated Tyler Brûlé, editor-in-chief of Monocle.

Lufthansa is one of the high performers in the survey, receiving four awards:

• No. 47, Best Flight Attendant
  Lufthansa’s First Class flight attendant, Naria Fau Wakamoto is applauded for her “poise, graceful moves and watchful eyes” on the Munich – Tokyo route.
• No. 27, Best Combo in the Air
  Lufthansa Italia is recognised for “showing Italian counterparts how to offer a dignified non-stop service from Italy to Europe’s major cities”.
• No. 07, Best Lounge
  Lufthansa’s Munich First Class Lounge received top billing for “removing as many obstacles as possible from the passenger experience”.
• No. 05, Best Inflight Internet
  The introduction of Flynet into up to 100 long-haul aircraft by the beginning of 2011 cemented Lufthansa’s fourth and final Monocle commendation

- We are very pleased to receive four awards in this year’s much reputed Monocle’s Top Fifty. This proves that our constant efforts to further enhance our products and services on the ground and on board are appreciated by our customers. Innovation, reliability as well as the personal touch of our team makes us the leading European carrier”, said Dr. Karsten Benz, Lufthansa Vice President Sales and Services Europe.

The Monocle Travel Top Fifty is included in issue 29, which is on newsstands from 19th November. For the first time, the 2009 Travel Top Fifty features Monocle photography of every single category winner.
