Delta or united? Planning to use the points for booking international tickets.

United has BY FAR better mileage redemption for international flights. Not even close.

I hate to say this because I have all my points with delta, but united is better. I went to Japan for free in a decent plane for a negligible amount of points.

like

United has the most flights to Asia (I think) Both are pretty good for Europe. I've traveled both exclusively at times, I've found if you travel as much as we do you should go for the most comfortable seats... Advantage Delta.

All I have to say... GPU on United is everything for intl flights

A2, going to hit 1K soon. pumped about banking some GPUs

But isn't delta the only place where your miles don't expire

^agreed used United points for relatively cheap (points) first class to Thailand. I was surprised at the redemption to be honest.

On Lufthansa.

EY1 worst case on united you donate 1000 miles to charity and it extends the miles.

Meh... Depends on when you are traveling. I've done two round trip tickets to Europe on United for 110k (saver fare) and done two round trip tickets to Europe delta for 140k. So I guess it depends when you are looking on traveling... Seems similar and worth the trade for a more comfortable seat.

@A2, GPU?

OP once you hit 100k on United you get 6 global premier upgrades (GPU), which you can use on into flights. I was upgraded every time I used mine - you just have to buy slightly higher economy fare. It is amazing

On a second thought I hope you don't ever fly as much as me for work

@EY1 download mileage plus X app. Buy $1 Amazon GC, earn United miles. Miles won't expire.

E1 but it's easy to keep miles alive

A3 they are amazing. Used every single one last year. Works on luft as well

United bc Lufthansa
