LOS ANGELES, September 11, 2019 (Newswire.com) – ​​​Members of the Airline Passenger Experience Association (APEX) gathered during the inaugural APEX/IFSA Awards Ceremony to honor the winners of the 2020 Passenger Choice Awards (PCAs). The awards recognize excellence in seat comfort, cabin service, food and beverage, entertainment and Wi-Fi.

APEX once again partnered with TripIt® from Concur®, the world’s highest-rated travel-organizing app, to gather anonymous passenger feedback based on neutral, third-party passenger feedback and insights for the 2020 APEX Passenger Choice Awards. Using a five-star scale, more than one million flights were rated by passengers across nearly 600 airlines from around the world between July 1, 2018, and June 30, 2019. On the same screen, passengers were given the opportunity to provide anonymous ratings in five subcategories: seat comfort, cabin service, food and beverage, entertainment, and Wi-Fi. The single-screen rating allows airline passengers to easily rate their flight in less than 15 seconds.
