While United Airlines won’t be topping any “best airline” lists in light of Monday’s incident, several other airlines globally are being praised today for outstanding service and experiences.

TripAdvisor has released its annual list of the best airlines in the world, according to reviews from users of its website. The algorithm took into account the quality and quantity of airline reviews submitted by travellers over a 12-month period. In addition to a global list, top airlines for each continent (Europe, North America, the Middle East and Africa) were also recognized.

Click through the gallery to see which airlines were ranked the best in the world.
