New Fodor's awards name best airlines for food, sleep and pets

Experts at Fodor's have launched their inaugural travel awards, giving shout-outs for everything from the best airlines for plus-sized fliers and pets to the best travel apps and travel influencers. Why the need for another travel awards ceremony? Editors at the travel publication say theirs is meant to be a recognition of the companies and individuals that make travel "a little bit better." "We wanted to answer useful questions, but also keep it light," editors say. That means highlighting traditional winners like the best international airline (Emirates) and the best airline in the US (Delta Air Lines), but also creating useful and fun categories that take into account different travel needs. For instance, with more legroom and a larger seat width than the industry average, JetBlue is given the title of best airline for plus-sized and long-legged fliers, while American Airlines' "Cuddle Class" -- a special cabin cubicle in front of the plane -- is the top airline for pets. <br/>
