When the wealthy are looking to fly, Singapore Airlines and Qantas Airlines are their preferred carriers, according to a new report from New World Wealth, a ratings, surveys, and statistics provider that specializes in the global wealth sector.

The report is based on interviews with 800 high-net-worth individuals. New World Wealth made use of its proprietary database of over 150,000 high-net-worth individuals from around the world to conduct the survey.
