Err, you may have missed my earlier point. I do find the results "directionally correct", which means that maybe personally I would rank them differently I probably would have all the airlines +/- 10 ranks of where they are in the Skytrax ranking. So I made the plausibility test of Lufthansa. They have been voted second best airline in Europe in the survey, personally i would have not them ranked second, but still put them in the top 5 or 6. So this proves that at least for me the results are at least directionally correct. I browsed over the top 100, and there were no airlines that were "off" by 25 ranks or so.

Sure, but what else would you like it to be? That is the very essence of the survey
