I used Delta this year for a trip to Europe and it was a very good experience. The Atlanta international terminal is very nice as well. CDG is a mixed bag but my more recent experience flying through there is positive.

Go with whoever you have status with. If you have any chance for upgrades with United, use them.

Delta has a solid "economy plus" seat that is actually quite comfortable for someone my size (6'2") that is usually only another $100 for an international trip like that. That's a great option if you don't have a chance for upgrades and are trying to fly on a budget. To my knowledge, United doesn't have something like that.

Have fun and bring a nice set of headphones. I'd steer clear of anything with a 3+ hour layover.

I have a chance with delta but my husband doesn't. Lol. I travel, get the hotel and flight points, not him. And for international flights upgrades are not cheap. Usually more than the original ticket itself.

Soooo. I'm thinking I may end up going with United just because I don't want a 7 hour layover at JFK. And I would get to Dublin at 7A versus 10A.
