How bad is United? I’ve only been flying United before I got the job. My miles there is peanuts (lost a bunch due to 1 yr of inactivity pre-COVID)
Now that I’m gonna travel for biz for the first time, I’m wondering if I should switch to Delta.
However, for my upcoming destination, the Delta fare is 2x as UA and AA and I might get questioned if I choose Delta

United Airlines I would say is a fantastic airline

Where you’re based should be the #1 consideration for your airline of choice, with frequent destinations (i.e., what industry you work in) as a close second.

I definitely have stockholm syndrome from living in a UA held city, but the UA stroopwafels + illy black coffee hit the spot for me

You’re NYC - stick to United.

But also for future reference, you absolutely will not be able to justify a 2x flight (assuming that difference is >$200) without having clear reasons from the justification options that D Trips prompts at checkout: e.g. decreases travel time by more than 2 hours

Need more info, which city is this for?

AA runs hourly shuttles LGA-ORD and has more valuable miles imo but delta is the superior airline overall.

You can get dragged out from a plane 😄 I would choose AA over UA.

At least my Manager can pick up my laptop at the destination airport - not a complete lose

Based out of NY Metro so I guess I have plenty of options here

If you’re in NYC and CHI, stick to United.

I've been an AA flyer since the late 90's (back when I was actually flying USAir before AA bought them). I don't love AA but I do like them. I really either have been extremely lucky with flight cancellations or other snafus or they are generally ok. But I agree that it depends on where you're based, that's the main consideration. I used to fly out of DFW a lot, so that's what got me started on AA. Then I was flying out of CLT a lot, still an AA hub.
