If your priority is quality of service, Delta is the winner in a landslide. SkyPesos are hot garbage, but Delta is the only airline to give lounge access to top tier elites and in flight service is significantly better than UA/AA (good food/drink, better IFE, etc.)
Delta's points value is much worse and feels like they dont serve as many small cities direct as AA . Delta's on time performance is much better and service is more consistent. AA has more lie flat seats and they fly them more frequently on domestic hubs (DFW, ORD, MIA, LAX).
If you're based in Chicago, Delta really isn't a viable option.
I can't relate. Connections blow.
Following.
@K - where is your home base?
ORD. I've always been a AA child because I prefer oneworld internationally but their service has gotten from worse to intolerable recently
Yes confirmed... AA has the largest fleet (1556), DL has 1330 and UA has 1229. AA serves 351 direct destinations, UA 342 destinations, and DL 335 destinations. Willing to be the differences are midwest small cities. One more important thing, DL requires 125k miles for top status while UA and AA requires only 100k. Other than this and what I mentioned above, they all reward same number of miles per dollar and have same upgrade priorities.
Wait if you're in Chicago I'm pretty sure DL doesnt have a big presence here at all and you'd have to connect flights at least 80% of the time. They chose DTW as their midwest hub rather than ORD which is crowded with AA and UA or MDW where they have few gates but Southwest dominates it.
Connections honestly don't really bother me, I'm really looking at quality of service.
OP- What about AA's quality has declined as of late? (Given that quality is relative, and none of the aforementioned carriers have a high quality level that is anything to write home about)
I do like to redeem miles on international flights at least once a year. Is delta really that bad for it?
Do it
Or United
If there's one thing delta is great at it's those intl flight redemptions. Plus decent enough status gets you the lounge access. I spend three months ATL - MEM and had a bougie free trip to Asia.
D2 is right, and that's why I'm a Delta guy. I fly from a small airport so I have connections mostly, but also get upgraded all the time on those legs. From ATL though good luck, same with any airlines major hubs
Delta is simply a better product from planes to lounges.
You will have more flight options in your city, with AA
Wrong PC1. ORD is AA and United country. Delta flight options will blow.
Which is what I said, but again, Delta is a better airline
I'm thinking being from a non-hub, there's likely to be fewer status folks here so my chances of upgrades are probably higher all around. Plus, most cities I fly to have delta connections and they're usually cheaper than AA. The problems would be connections and international redemptions.
