The World’s Best Airlines 2025, I Can’t Believe Who Won!
The Times and Sunday Times Travel Awards 2025 have revealed the world’s best airlines, and I’ll be honest a few of the results nearly made me spit out my Pret latte at Heathrow T5.
More than 900,000 readers voted for their favourite airlines this year, split into short-haul and long-haul categories. Some results were predictable, others genuinely eyebrow-raising.

Great question, and one that many Google users are frantically searching mid-terminal. The No1 Lounge Heathrow Terminal 2 is not exactly front and centre. Once you’re through security, head towards Gates A1 to A5. Now here’s where it gets weird: take the lift down one level.

China Southern Airlines Business Class Review
Check-in began in a lounge-like setting with serious private jet vibes — very quiet, premium, and smooth on the surface. There was even a private security lane, which added a luxurious touch.
