Best & Worst Airlines?
For me-
Best: Southwest
Best customer service, spacious seats, rarely delayed, free 2 bags, last min change/cancel/fly early

Worst: United
money minded airline

Delta is the best but UA is a pretty good experience once you have status. JetBlue is good too but limited international redemption options. American is worst and can’t stand WN either

WN is Southwest.

JetBlue is such a good airline. I was soo sad when I was staffed in a city they didn’t fly to.

Delta far and away the best Worst United. Close 2nd to AA for never updating flight delays in their app until it’s already been delayed.

On business I fly AA, for personal travel I fly Spirit first class

Best value in flying. Normally my 1F seat (same as all the major carriers first class) + 2 bags is cheaper than a domestic economy ticket without any bags

Delta the best. Southwest would be better if they provided upgrades to road warriors but that's not their model

like

If you primarily fly domestic for pleasure, southwest has the best “rebate” (40% on business select bookings assuming you have a list preferred). This rebate is double with a companion (80%), and tripled when there is a double points promotion (120%). So you will earn more back in points than spent in dollars.

It’s definitely much harder if you are forced to book wanna get away fares

likesmart

Also, the points progression is fastest with Southwest. Only con is that Southwest doesn't fly international, so can't use the points for international travel but they're starting flights to Hawaii which is good.

Delta is the best and to me AA is the worst. They have horrible customer service and their planes are a little dated to me

Delta has the oldest fleet of all the major carriers FWIW

JetBlue is obviously the best. All others are the worst

I’d rather pay more for my flight than take United

But internationally there are airlines you wouldn’t believe. LATAM is so ridiculously bad, it’s not even funny anymore

Best for me is Delta and Southwest. Worst is American

Best: Delta for sure, would pick Alaska if I had more opportunity to fly them :-(
Worst: United :-/

Best: Delta - Worst: Spirit

Delta and AA are probably the best. Not a fan of SW for business travel because they don’t have first class

SW is good for regional travel only

Delta, best- United, worst

Do you pay your credit cards in full every month?

I ask because I’ve let my credit spending get a bit lax since moving and adopting a puppy recently, so I haven’t been paying them off in full every month like I used to (though still well above the minimum payment, and keeping utilization at 30% or under). It got me thinking about how many people adhere to this advice.

1) Donald Trump has not condemned the group who plotted to kidnap Governor Whitmer and blow up a bridge to both hurt and possibly kill police officers so they couldn’t get to her.

2) He not only encourages the crowd at his rally to chant “lock her up” (which is incredibly insensitive, divisive, and incendiary) but himself yells “lock all of them up”

These are two very small, very clear examples of why rhetoric matters when you’re the leader and chief of the United States of America.
