Airline Passenger Choice Awards 'Best Passsenger Experience' List

Here's the list of "best overall passenger experience" winners at the 2011 Airline Passenger Choice awards at the APEX Expo in Seattle.

The awards are sponsored by the Airline Passenger Experience Association (APEX), an industry group, and voted on by airline passengers. APEX says the awards are "based solely on the votes of passengers responding" to its survey, and are "completely independent of commercial influence – no airline ads or sponsorships."
