re: What airline do you fly and why?

JetBlue because I am mosaic

Mostly American. Home airport is BTR.

1) They ditched the CRJ-200 and ERJ-145 from their DFW-BTR route. UA also ok, but Delta still has a few of these flying torture chambers on their BTR-ATL routes.

2) I prefer DFW to ATL or IAH as a hub. At DFW the Baton Rouge flights are all arriving at terminal E now (at the East side of the airport), so taxi times is are shorter. Plus the tram stops twice per terminal instead of just once. Usually there will be a restaurant within 2 gates of where you’re flying instead of ATL where they’re concentrated at that center island of the terminal.

3) If DFW has issues, have the possibility of rerouting through CLT

4) One stop to everywhere in Asia, on UA or DL would have to two-stop it. But, DL is more convenient to Europe.

24-28 trips/year. American. I used to fly United because driving home from houston when weather delays hit isn’t too bad of a trip.

United. I started traveling when Continental was around. Also, I would rather connect in Houston.
I need about 250,000 miles to be a million miler on United.

United because I travel a ton and live in Houston.

Once you achieve status with United (as with any other big box airline) it is much much better.

I fly United because I like to get roughed up every so often.

Almost exclusively southwest or jet blue. They usually have the most non stop flights for where I’m traveling and are usually significantly cheaper than the other non stop flights.

Delta is the only airline I actively avoid. I’ve had more issues with cancellations or delays with them than any other airline.

I have never flown

United mostly, because I live in Chicago, but I shop around and will fly on any airline.
