Now that AA, United, and Delta appear to have similar miles accruing rules, what is the best airline? I'm AA platinum from LA, wondering if I should switch.

OP, stick with AA then if you want international mile options

LA is pretty segmented but AA is the most dominant there.

What's your end game?

@D2 going after one where it is easiest to earn/spend miles, has good seat upgrade potential, at least 2 free checked bags (like AA), and lounge access outside US.

What is your typical travel locations OP? I too am based in LA and Delta serves all the cities that I frequently visit non-stop.

Typically Midwestern cities like Chicago and Cincinnati. I'll take a look. Are the benefits similar across airlines, or is one much better?

I'd just stick with AA

OP, easy to spend miles for domestic or int'l?

Thanks D1. @D2 international

@D1, D2, and M1: thanks for the advice!
