I just barely achieved Delta Silver Medallion last year but I'm thinking to switch pursue AA. It seems like they have better ROI for rewards and more international options. Any confirmations on this?

American sucks. Was exec plat for 2 years. I've since made the switch to Southwest and have companion pass. The single greatest perk ever. Plus Southwest as a whole is great.

Been flying with AA for years, they're like having a weird, abusive but friendly, grandparent. If you play your cards right, amazing international redemptions and IRROPS handling, but really only for EXP and CK. They treat everybody else as trash.

American quality is trash. Delta much better flying experience, especially as you accumulate status. For someone who only flies 25k miles a year though, not sure it matters

As an EXP, great benefits, awards, and always get treated well...at the lower levels, it's the same as every other airline

Overall I'm happy with American - I chose them because I was NYC to LA a lot and they do upgrades on that route (unlike Delta)

like

I second @d1. Southwest is the best domestic airline. The problem is lack of international destinations. American is the least reliable but most versatile imo

I do AA out of Boston, had good results overall

Ha.

Would you say United is better esp at the lower status levels

I've heard the quality is bad - I think the only thing making me interested was that I read the valuations were better (more bang for your buck) but this is helpful.
