I only fly United airlines. It’s the best airline in America.

FC2 - United Polaris lounge is world class and there are a fleet of Porsches/Benz for GS as well as private GS security line. Surely it’s the same all around for top tier spenders, I just happen to have my loyalties with UA

Delta traditionally has been more aggressive with FCM (first class monetization), often offering deeply discounted targeted buy-up offers. The result was higher load factors in F for Delta, which Delta has specifically stated to investors is a goal. United seems to have gotten much more aggressive recently with FCM, but I can’t quantify how their upgrade prices compare to Delta’s, or how their load factors compare.

Very route dependent, but as noted, Delta has been more aggressive in getting passengers to buy up

Only time I’ve flown delta my paid F seat didn’t recline.

Define cheaper ? If you are Plat. you’ll be upgraded to First a lot outside of ATL (big hub) & Covid.
I’m my experience the other airlines are generally not worth flying each week, cos they will let you down, looking at you AA.
That said my family of 6 recently flew to PHX on AA from RDU and had a great/on time experience - attaboy!

I'm Delta Diamond, always ride in the front, never pay for it.
