Issue is their coverage. They're good on the east coast but I've had bad luck on the west coast. And their international partners are fewer than Star, miles redemption options reduce, fares always seem obnoxiously high for personal travel.

I've actually had great luck with delta so far. Much better odds with upgrades.

What would you prefer over Delta domestically...tf

United, decent coverage in delta's markets & in those where Delta is bad - at least from what I've seen

I've seen a lot of cancelled flights though.
