I’m sure this has been asked 100 times before but newbie here. Looking for a recommendation on which airline to use as preferred for points/status/etc... ideally flying out of DCA.

My vote is for delta, but also depends on where your client is going to be

like

Short engagements with different clients all over the country, predominantly east coast, few west of Chicago.

Delta = best flying experience and least delays, terrible miles
United = best miles redemption (for a few more months at least), average delays
American = most domestic routes, worst delays

like

Sounds like another mileage devaluation...

American or delta but really depends on where you are flying too

like

American will probably give you more direct flights.

Do your research on common travel cities to make sure you pick one that works best for you.

like

I’d say for my DCA based team - 60% American, 35% delta, and I’m like the one United dude

If you are planning to fly out of DCA, American is your best bet. This morning not withstanding getting in/out and through security with Pre is a breeze

American for sure.
