Loyal Delta flyer, but I’m beginning to question my choice. United points redemptions are so much better - as an example, NYC <-> Havana is 18k on United and 45k on Delta. Is the service that much better on Delta to make it worth it?

Based out of NYC, I’m indifferent to flying out of LGA vs EWR

/Do you get more miles per trip on Delta vs United? The difference in redemption values is staggering to me

United redemptions are much better, plus a transfer partner with Chase ultimate rewards points. I think Delta's service is better, but united's point currency takes you further.

What do y’all think?
