Where do you live? Different airports are hubs for each airline, I’d base it off that

like

Never flown into or out of LGA. Two of my buddies told me some horror stories and I made it a point to avoid. I’m also LA based so LAX to JFK just has more flights.

Delta has the least lucrative rewards program, but it’s the best airline to fly. I’d rather deal with poor miles redemptions than poor reliability and poor customer service, which is what you get on UA and AA.

Being based in NYC you have two Delta hubs in JFK and LGA, so you have no reason ever to have to use a lesser airline.

People generally prefer delta, but I would check what airline is based out of the airport you’d be flying out of because for convenience it might make more sense to choose a different airline

I would go with United or Delta. They have better mileage programs and partner airlines compared to AA. Don’t see that much difference in service based on my experience.

United has bigger international network plus star alliance

If you care about rewards, United or American then delta

Sign up for all of them, prioritize Delta if at all possible. Will depend on where you are flying for different clients too. I always look for direct flights.

Does anyone have 2? For example, does it make sense to get AA and Delta?

Sorry, meant to say low tier status on two airlines. Being Silver or Gold on both DL and UA doesn’t do a ton for you with either airline (though Sky Priority is nice with DL Gold).

The upper-mid tier (Platinum on DL/UA and Platinum Pro on AA) is where you start to see real benefits, like sometimes clearing upgrades on popular flight times, additional perks like upgrade certificates, etc.
