American miles will take you overseas. Southwest lets you board like cattle. But why leave delta, it’s the best

I’ve had nothing but poor experiences with Delta and a handful of bad ones with American. Southwest has never done me dirty and I almost always am boarding as a low A number. Almost no wait when calling customer service. I know I’m not in the norm here but I actually quite like Southwest 🤷🏼‍♀️

D1 - I’m certain there are bad and good stories for each so that’s completely fair. I likewise am very content with the benefits I receive

Southwest - It’s the city bus of the sky but you’ll earn free flights faster than any other airlines.

@M1 Southwest has great regional and international flight destinations if you live on the West Coast...which many of us do

Neither. I’ll stick with DL

Southwest. Soooooo many free flights!!!

Why does southwest have more free flights?

Southwest is definitely my favorite but their points are worth jack if you travel overseas. The United points work for me when traveling internationally but I’m not crazy about their service and tier structure. Their coverage seems pretty limited and highly expensive too.

I earned my round trip flights to Hawaii on southwest in 2 weeks (4 flights). Companion pass means I get to bring the SO. Straight up earning more points than I know what to do with... sooo southbest for sure

Has anyone been pressured to travel during the pandemic? I had an awkward exchange with a supervising attorney who wants to protect a client relationship from our outside trial counsel who happens to be my mentor and someone that my supervising attorney trusts more than most. “Travel” means flying to a state with rising COVID cases (17% positivity rate and rising) to be in the room for client’s deposition. Nothing has been finalized given supervising attorney tabled when I pushed back.
