American will give you the greatest options.

DFW is a hub for AA, so might be one your best choice. If you really get a choice of everything I would go delta or SW depending on your travel outside of work

American, unfortunately, is your best option

American! (I don’t like it but it’s the best availability). I wouldn’t expect much travel for the next year or two sadly

Totally depends on the firm, our southern offices have been traveling extremely frequently

What about Newark?

Agreed. EWR would be United. The member clubs are still under construction right now and kinda suck.

Haha American has a monopoly down there, good luck bc

DFW is a fortress hub for AA so that’s your only option really. They have something like 95%+ of total traffic at DFW

You’re theoretically hub captive to AA, so you’ll have the most nonstop options from DFW with them.

That said, Delta. American is a trash airline.

Again, I didn’t argue that SkyMiles was a good program. It’s not. Also it’s truly laughable that you think not only is Delta getting worse, but also that American is improving in any meaningful way. Both statements are demonstrably false.

Given the combination of soft and hard product, you’d be insane to think J on any AA aircraft beats a Delta One suite on a 339 or a 359. You’re comparing the best product AA offers to a reskinned seat on a 20 year old 764, which is intellectually dishonest. The 764 also doesn’t have a door. Given the marked difference in soft product, I’d even take DL’s old 332/3 reverse herringbone Delta One over anything AA offers. And all of that doesn’t even factor in that DL eats both UA’s and AA’s lunches internationally in Y and W.

And again, sure Delta’s international/J lounge game is lacking, and it’s something they’re addressing. They do have some hitters in their network, though (VS Clubhouses, KL Crown Lounge). It’s a sad when the only real arguments you have for an airline are that an experience most of the plane won’t have that takes place before the flight is nice, and that you can more easily redeem its currency on other, better airlines.
