American b/c DFW is their hub.

Would prefer Virgin for everything though.

I flew American all the time. Hit Platinum status in November. So far, every flight I have booked for this year is either United or using miles.

If you fly at least once a month that's a lot.

Southwest if they are cheapest because bags fly free and I don't have to pay extra for certain seats.

United because of work.

All others are the same to me. Delta has never been on time for me so I avoid them. But if it's not Southwest I usually just got with the best price or times that work for me.

Have you ever actually flown Spirit? Not trolling, just asking. I felt the same way until I used them once. If you only have one carry on and know what you’re getting in to they are not bad. I actually was able to upgrade to their “business” seats in the front of the plane for 45 bucks upon check in. I get it they are zero frills, but their fleet of planes are newer and they are safe.

I usually do Delta because the Comfort+ extra leg room is worth every.single.penny when you're 6'2. The free drinks are good too.

Domestic- Delta

Out of ATL you can go anywhere non-stop with multiple departures and return options.


International- British Airways or Etihad

They blow the US airlines away in quality and service.

180 flight segments last year. Flew:
168 Delta
4 American
4 Southwest 2 KLM
2 United

Service is great as a diamond. More importantly they are reliable.

The cheapest one. If times are similar and Delta is within 50 bucks or so I'll go with Delta just because I have the credit card that gives priority boarding and a free checked bag

Southwest because I have to change schedules and flights all the time and it doesn’t cost a fee.

In the past year I have used:

United
American Airlines
Aeroméxico
Delta
Interjet
Hawaiian Airlines
Virgin

I have the most (miles) invested with American because I fly out of DFW a lot.

Delta because of where I live and because they are slightly better than American and United.

I don't fly very often (10-15 times per year), but I generally fly Delta because I find a larger majority of their planes to be newer with upgraded features. I'd say I'd fly Southwest second most due to the bags fly free option.


I used to fly a lot (every week!) wit a consulting company and we kept track of airline fleet age. Delta consistently had the newest fleet and was always well managed.

That may have changed recently but I haven't heard of it.

Healthcare consulting

ETA- I oversee a book of business nationwide so may hit 1-3 sites per week. I usually go for just exec meetings.
