Virgin Atlantic?
Just kidding
Seriously, can you provide some form of link to the source? I honestly don't believe that EK would be named that frequently by 10 international travelers picked at random. Frankly, I'm surprised that CX was picked.
Note that in my hypothetical question, I wasn't asking a person to name the first "luxury" international airline that comes to mind. I was simply wording the hypothetical question as follows: "Could you please name the international airline that comes to mind first?"
I would expect a list like BA, AF, SQ, LH, maybe NW or UA, maybe AA, JAL, then a bunch of assorted odds and ends (TAP, SAS, MH, Aeroflot, DL, EK, etc.)
