This is not a presidential election.
Basically we don't know who are the voters, what are the criteria.
Moreover, for such vote to be fair, all the voters should experience all the airlines.
Skytrax is basically a self-satisfaction of the industry.
IMO, Emirates is excellent, but not at the top.

For the average passenger, IMO, it would be a mix of CX, SQ, EK, LH and QR. There is no outstanding significantly better airline.
When it comes to premium products, EY arguably has the most spacious F product, but I wouldn't argue it's the best as I find the seat uncomfortable and there are still too many other issues with that airline. But again, between EK, SQ, LH, QR, one can't easily pick a winner.

As overall experience, I would put JL in first place.
Service is superb. Seats and FB have improved the last couple of years.
But :
1: it is based on my own experience, and it may have been a lucky draw,
2: there are many great airlines I haven't flown (EY for ex)
I won't put EK in top position mainly because of irregular quality of service (both onboard and on land) and slow response to problems (baggage, ticketing, etc), not to mention the disappointing new B777 J seat.
