Been AA my entire career. Doing a United status match now to switch my affiliation. No beef with AA, just interested in changing it up. Both have enough flights out of ORD to get you wherever you need to go domestically.

Would wait for your first project to make a decision based upon price and number of flights to client site.

I do AA out of ORD and no major complaints. I find it better than United.

Yeah I know it's a hub for united but I've heard they can be brutal. Didn't know if there was a general preference

United sucks but has good rewards and connectivity.

Don't do ORD. MDW is the best (shorter lines and commute back into the city is flawless and 30min shorter than coming back from ORD)

Do you fly southwest, D2?

I've been AA for years and find it pretty good. Lots of options for redeeming miles for vacation. Lines are probably shorter at MDW, but you'll have more limited reward redemption destinations on the airlines...

AA

United

United gives better snacks, better customer service, better rewards. Mile redemption is also way better

@KPMG - wouldn't fly anything other than SW. Every time I fly on other airlines, I regret it immediately.
