Flying out of ATL. Currently platinum with Delta. Only renewing for Gold next year. Want to status match to United or American with my Platinum. Which to pick?

I’ve had the same debate. I think United based on international travel partners but it depends on where you go. Also, upgrades may not be worth extra connections.

The extra connections do suck. But it’s worth at least having the status. Just unsure which of the two has to most destination options (major cities in and out of US) where platinum status helps

I’d say hardly worth the extra connections. Get a Delta reserve which will boost your upgrade to Delta comfort (almost comparable in number if you have reserve+gold vs platinum) and expense out upgrades to first when the app gives you a good deal

Delta Reserve boosts upgrades ?

Not too worried about work travel, aiming to leave consulting by April - May

Status matching to American is useless. You still need to earn miles before you get 500 Mile upgrades for 1st class. I'd go United.

Platinum won't really help you on united international.
