Pick the flight times that are best for your project and factor in if you need to connect. If those considerations are the same, I would pick United. I hate AA and United is less terrible IMO. Star Alliance partners are legit.

At the end of the day AA, United, and Delta are all the same shitty airline - pick the airline that has the most convenient times and stick with it

I'm an AA guy, but I'm mostly East Coast. AA has pretty good options in the East

I do AA from ORD, only one terminal to worry about and higher chance of upgrade...EVERYONE flies United out of ORD, fewer regular fliers on AA thus more likely your status will get you an upgrade.

AA will get you more upgrades and once you are exec plat, the first class lounges around the world are just awesome ! Star alliance has much better connectivity and United operations are better than AA. As 1k based in Chicago I almost never get upgraded on United.

Premier 1K you're able to get into the lounge...AA EP you're not

Delta, and enjoy your flight.

Cons: everything
