Does anyone even consider price differences between your preferred airline and a competitor? For instance, if you are Delta loyal and the Delta flight is 500 while American is 350, always choose Del?

Business yes. Personal no.

$150 to me is right on the edge since loyalty does have financial benefits, with the main one being cost of paying for economy plus (equivalent) round trip vs. complimentary. If it starts to get higher than that I believe there’s somewhat of a fiduciary responsibility to put client/firm $$ first.

Do you also factor the value that status may aid in delays/cancellations in winter months?

Unless you’re 1k/platinum it doesn’t do a whole lot for you, but yes, worth considering. At the end of the day if your manager/client prints out a comparable fare and says why didn’t you take that one, do you feel comfortable justifying it? If the answer is “yes,” then you’re likely ok. If the answer is “ehh,” maybe look at other flight options or ask teammates what ballpark their fares are in.

I will always feel comfortable saying Yes, was just looking to see how others felt

We have thresholds that prevent booking if you are $x above the minimum price fare in a certain time window. If I’m within that then I book and have never had any issues
