Travel Conundrum: i lost status this past year (local project). New project in Seattle. I fly out of EWR (United hub). No decent return United flights from SEA to EWR. Do I go with AA or Delta?

Idk about AA routes but I would pick delta 10 times out of 10

Delta

Delta. AA only have one direct flight to SEA per day, and it leaves from JFK in the evening.

Also keep in mind that KPMG perfected partners are AA and Delta. Booking Those airlines is considered "in policy" and it makes my life a lot easier not having to defend every United purchase as anpolicy exception

Just pick the shortest route...

American has this thing with Alaska. You can earn miles and get status. Don't know if Alaska partners with Delta.

Delta

Delta

Delta is great between NYC and SEA

Delta sucks! They've managed to ruin their FF program.

Delta/Alaska. Use your Delta Skymiles when booking Alaska as it's a partner. There's a 2:50pm from SEA to EWR daily I believe and 7AM from EWR to SEA.

^Ive been putting my Delta Skymiles when I use Alaska (JFK, though) and slightly higher conversion rate. Plus SPG, you can hit status in a couple months assuming you fly weekly.

Our avg rev per client is $2500, with a lot of single projects @ $500. Does it makes sense to increase our prices?
