What airline do you fly and why?

I don't fly very often (8-10 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.

That's fairly often.
I just go with the best deal for that trip.

Everyone on the OT flies private.

Used to fly United exclusively. Flew AA recently for the first time in years. I might be switching to them.

Best rate.
But I fly KMSY-KJFK about twice a year and do Jet Blue.
They aren't what the used to be, but I still prefer them.

Alaska Airlines for long haul, Alaska Seaplanes local, Ward Air for charter

I usually go with cheapest tickets I can find with the exception of Spirit.
I would never, under any circumstance, fly Spirit.

American. We have an office in Dallas and I fly to a lot of towns in the Midwest. Makes connecting easier. Plus I’ve built up Platinum Pro status with them and I don’t care to give it up and start over.

Cheapest that's not southwest or another discount airlines

Delta. Aunt is a former exec so I fly through her benefits

Whatever airline most efficiently utilizes credit card points for free flights. No loyalty to any airline but usually it ends up being Southwest.

Continental was a great airline before they sold out to United. Used to be happy Houston was a hub because I could drive a couple hours and get a nonstop flight anywhere I wanted for cheaper than any other airline. Now it’s continentals planes with United prices. I fly frontier now.

People always say this. Delta has one of the oldest fleets in the country and the oldest of the major carriers.
Delta - 17 years old average
United - 14.3 years old average
Southwest - 11.8 years old average
American - 10.8 years old average

I prefer to fly United when possible just for the fact their miles are easier to redeem for free flights especially if you have the Chase card but other than that there isn't a nickels difference between United, Delta, and American.

NetJets is the only acceptable airline.

JetBlue is my favorite.
Spirit is the worst. Swore I would not fly them again back in 2013 and still haven't. Will happily pay 200-300 more on flights over 3 hours to not fly spirit.

TBH I usually go with the lowest cost excluding Spirit and Frontier
My favorite has been JetBlue but I also like SWA because I can “upgrade” my queue and get better legroom than what I pay on a major carrier.
