Best airline to travel out of Austin? Confused on what to prioritize now that I’m traveling for work. Been going with southwest currently but not sure if delta is better due to future initiative

Southwest is great if you can utilize the companion pass within the US. AA and United are great for points redemption. Delta is great for actually travelling each week but harder to redeem.

Thank you! Maybe I’ll stay southwest until I get companion. Then I’ll check AA or United. Appreciate the feedback

Depends - if youre at a big four or some of the others make sure you check to see if the company’s travel promotions include a Fast Track. Delta is typically 16 one way trips and your platinum and Southwest’s fast track for consultants is even easier to get AList

Southwest is the best airline to travel out of Austin as you have the most nonstop and flight options. The other airlines will mostly only go non-stop to a hub city. If you go to a city that’s non-hub, you’ll most likely have to connect every route which is what I usually do being loyal to United.

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?
