Is American airlines the worst ? Have traveled a lot with United and Delta as well but American takes the cake in terms of operational efficiency and customer service.

United used to be the worst. Over the past few years, American has aggressively worked to overtake them to the extent that I’d call AA the worst major US airline.

I think you’d have to be crazy to travel domestically on any airline other than Delta, and that’s true even for people captive to AA/UA fortress hubs.

Yeah, I’d take either of AS or B6 over UA/AA, though AS lags on the premium side and its route network outside the west is not great. B6 offers a good product, but for business travel I avoid them out of concerns about reliability and IRROPS handling.

I’ve never liked WN. I don’t have the level of same distaste for them as for AA/UA, but they’ve also never given me a reason to want to fly them again.

I feel as if Delta’s success and standing as the best US airline is now starting to be reflected in prices (aka their flights cost more). Still my go-to for business and most of the time for personal travel, unless the premium is excessive.

Bring back the good old days when we didn’t have to pay for any of it

Yea that’s what I struggle with. I have traveled extensively over the past years and AA is clear winner for the worst airline. I am actually surprise when I hear people say United is worse than AA

I am used to Delta flights but have moved in the pandemic to an AA hub. It’s hard to beat the options but really takes any joy there was left about flying. I still try to find the rare Delta flights out of my city even if it adds time to my trip.

like

Even when I was stuck with ORD for a couple years, I mostly stuck with Delta, even when I had to connect. I don’t hate myself enough to fly AA.

I'm sure I will be the only one with this opinion... But since the pandemic, AA has improved during COVID in my experience. All my flights with AA have been on time and have gone very smoothly since 9/20. I think I've had 16 flights in the last year. Maybe I am just lucky. 😅 Still really pissed they are not extending status for next year like Delta.

Just not southwest please
