I have 97k miles from AA, 75k of which came from Signing up for the Citi Card. I’m thinking of switching to United because - Recently it seems like American airlines has been messing up a lot in terms of flying on time and “mechanical issues” with their planes. Is anyone else seeing this?

American and United are both ass. I’d go delta even if it means connecting flights.

Do you live in a hub city for any airline? If so, choose that one. Anyone who says they will willingly fly a connection to stick with one airline vs flying direct with another either hasn’t been flying long or doesn’t fly often.

This isn’t as of recent. . . it’s an ongoing issue for American.

Perhaps that’s why they gave 75K miles with the credit card. damn.

Better than switching to United would be switching to Delta. AA is a dumpster fire while UA is merely trash, but DL is actually good.

DL is good. It’s not going to be a premium carrier like SQ or QR, but overall it has a good product.

They're all really the same. Personal experience <> data.

Fwiw I haven't had any issues outside of severe weather on 22 American flights in the past six months

Data generally indicate they’re not. DL and UA both have better on time performance, and DL has more average legroom and scores higher on customer service than the other two.

It really bothers me United gives the same priority boarding to credit card holders and status earners. Really defeats the purpose. Atleast on AA cards don’t start till 5.

United gives silver members the same priority of group as United Explorer credit card holder. Wouldn’t count that as a benefit in this case

All US based carriers are garbage imo. Where are you based out of? Hubs are the only real reason to go with one vs. another, or if you like a particular card ecosystem like chase/Bilt. As another pro tip you should never use the cobrand cards for anything beyond sign up bonuses.

I’ve typically had the most luck finding cheap international awards availability on United, although delta hasn’t been bad lately either.
