I have to start traveling with AA for my new long term engagement, been flying Delta the last 10 months, have status, miles, and their amex platinum. (continued)

Haven't found an airline that compares to Delta so stick with them. Virgin came close but their prices got insane. United and AA are very route dependent, most of their fleet shouldn't still be flying.

AA flyer here- the upgrade system sucks unless you have EP. That said, I'll take a direct flight in coach over two first class segments - connecting blows.

Try both once and then take a call. If you are going to stay with SPG then Delta makes more sense

SPG and Delta has best points\miles crossover benefits in the industry

You get 1 mile for every dollar you spend on SPG property and 1 spg point for every dollar you spend on Delta. By flying with Delta and staying at SPG, you will make tons of points and miles. Good luck !

EY.... so Delta's MD-80 fleet is the epitome of modern?

Since I plan on flying Sundays regardless, should I stick to Delta and do a connect? It'll add an hour to my commute and I'll rack up crazy segments. Is that doing too much? Or is it worth it? Really considering it...

I'm a Marriott guy but SPG has a better property where I'm going and also considering making the switch, what's the benefit here?

Gotcha I'll look into it. Thanks

Fair point. I guess they're all a bit route dependent. I fly SFO-DTW a lot and they use new aircraft. I only fly United if no other options and everything seems ancient (except 787 to HOU..).

Huh? AA has a shit ton of new aircraft.

I'd finish delta status then make the call from there

Do you get both delta points and SPG points from a single delta leg?

Yea Roger I'm about to swap out my award 3 class international first class from Europe with a connection in Miami to the nonstop in coach.

D2 Sorry, let me clarify - there is an exception to the rule for douchebags like you who fly international every single week. For those of us domestic flyers here with 4 flights a week, yeah, I would take the direct with no status any day.

Yea, that's not me. This is my vacation. I'm at 122 domestic segments so far this year.

I’m very interested in the opportunity but also don’t want to make a poor financial decision early in my career. Thank you for your time!
