@B1 you obviously don’t live on the west coast

OP if you are on the west coast, do not fly American. Delta, SW, or bust

Yeah I’m on the east coast. But I assume both American and Delta fly the route OP is thinking of - so it doesn’t matter where we are.

Atlanta is home base but don’t anticipate staying here for more than a year and a half and don’t want that to be only reason. I was set for delta then started reading American miles go further. Also the delta flights are more expensive and can’t get them with project budget unless it’s 4 weeks in advance

OP if you plan to stay on the east coast, I think American gives you way more leverage than Delta, assuming you’re flying around here. Agree with others that hubs are important but if you plan to leave ATL, then it’s less of an issue.

Trying to pre-book flights by a month just to use Delta and get points seems like a pain to me, but I’m also not one that counts miles.

Just miles

If layovers and client arrival times don’t matter then fly American

Delta if you are in ATL

American!

Delta

Has anyone traveling to Canada recently? I am planning to go for four days and part of the documentation is to use the ArriveCAN app which has you complete a questionnaire.

I guess I would just extend my stay at the hotel if required, does anyone know if that's an acceptable answer if asked by border control?
