Someone had a bad experience on AA...Was it bad going through Miami? Delta's around $532 so it's about $100 more. For the quick flights to the islands that price difference would be enough for me to fly american.

I live in SXM and fly back to the USA once every 3 months, and I have flown Delta and American multiple times each. Delta is just a much better flight experience than American That $100 more for Delta must be a weekend fare. Delta's fares are higher on the weekend because there is always a connecting flight that is late and misses the KLM flight to Amsterdam or Air France flight to Paris. So KLM and Air France transfer the ppl to their Skyteam partner so they don't end up with pissed off passengers. If you book tuesday-thursday Delta will about $2-5 more expensive. Delta has in-flight entertainment, more recently renovated planes, and ATL>>>>MIA, customs in MIA is a b***h because they do not have enough kiosks for all the flights coming in there in the same window, but it might be better if you get the TSA passport app American sends all of their old planes on the caribbean routes, Delta's 757s might be old but they have all just been renovated on the inside. Delta also does not nickel and dime you to death like American does. If you get anything above the worst seats you will pay more fore American than you do Delta for a midweek flight and about the same for a weekend flight.
