Has anyone flown American Airlines Main Extra/Plus? What’s the leg room like? I’m buying tickets for my 80 year old grandpa and have a choice between Delta Comfort Plus ($350) vs. AA Main Extra/Plus ($270). I usually prefer Delta but not sure if the ~$80 difference is worth it for each ticket as I will be flying with him.

It differs by aircraft type even within the same airline

I suggest you look up the seat pitch for each aircraft type on AA vs on DL

Agreed - depending on the plane, bulk head and exit rows (which should be main cabin extra) may also offer even more leg room.

Both airlines you can board before, but he should have no issue asking for preboarding.
The product will be nearly identical for both, but on average the delta crew will be better in my experience, and depending on how tech savvy he is, will most likely have screens versus making you watch the tvs through your phone. Also delta has free Wi-Fi if he has a sky miles account
