AA EP or United 1K? I have both and heavily leaning toward only keeping 1K and only flying United for now. Million miler program is a better incentive, can change to any flight within 24 hours...

United has a very good international network. AA is hit or miss, they have some ugly ass planes #old #veryoldplanes

Tossup from Chicago, yes. Just trying to weigh the pros and cons of each program

like

Of your original flight (AA has to be writhing same calendar day), if you're stuck in economy the snack boxes are better and free either way, can get free lounge access without a credit card (Copa match, look it up - you're welcome), what other comparisons would weigh one more heavily than the other?

*within

Where do you live?

Chicago

Seems a toss up to me from Chicago.

I would pick United and go for Global Services. Separate security entrance at T1 and great mileage redemption options internationally.

#aasucks and its run by a bunch of #aassholes. #neveraa #ihateaa

*A is a bit stronger than oneworld. AA is working through some operational kinks from the merger but that'll be temporary. AA's SWUs are strong but suspect those will only get you to Premium Economy from coach in the future (the new 787-9 has these seats but aren't yet being sold as Premium Economy - they are the same seats that are in First on the refurbed A319).

United better by a smidge, and often by a lot on a good day. Global Services is awesome, but hard to come by. I'd say go for United. Million mile perk is nice -- Gold for life for you and your spouse.
