Right now, there are very few polls or survey in which British Airways can claim to be number one, except for pissing the most passengers off, perhaps. Here’s another, however – Webcredible, a company that tests websites for user experience and interaction, has rated BA the top website for customers to book flights on.

Twenty best practice guidelines were used to assess each of the twenty websites, each up to a maximum score of 5, providing a total rating out of 100. British Airways was top of the pile last year, although easyJet have improved from 50% to 77%, while Ryanair are now in 8th place – a marked improvement on last year’s bottom place. The top ten looks like this:

1. British Airways – 78%
2. EasyJet – 77%
3. Virgin Atlantic – 75%
4. TravelRepublic – 73%
5. BMI – 70%
6. Expedia – 68%
7. Travelocity – 68%
8. Ryanair – 66%
9. Ebookers – 65%
10. Opodo – 64%

At the bottom of the pile are three travel agents – First Choice, ThomsonFly and Thomas Cook; it doesn’t mean they’re the most expensive or that the wings are more likely to fall off their planes, of course.
