I've done it twice this year with no issues. Not the most comfortable ride but the flights are cheap and there's usually no connection

I think I flew my last Spirit Airlines flight. Sat in front of 6 less civilized folks from New Orleans to Fl. Made for a helluva long and annoying flight of cackling and profanity laced tirades at literally everything. Damn you flatulence... or was it turbulence. They still dont know.

Southwest by a long shot PLUS their windows are easier to roll down for some fresh air

I comparison shop for the quickest and cheapest. Southwest is my usual go-to. I’ve been okay with United, Delta and AA. Delta is good, but everything goes through ATL. If not for that, I’d probably fly them more than United or AA.

Delta.

I don’t get the hate for ATL. Compared to JFK and LGA, it’s wonderful.

Yep. I get the best perks through United so I always use them. Mostly satisfactory experiences and one time they really helped me out. Also flew into Lafayette on a nice new Embraer 175 last trip.

Delta mainly because I'm in ATL and alot easier to get direct flights. I'll pay extra to avoid a connection.

I believe Delta is also one of the top consistent/on time airline too. Also, almost all Delta planes have the new personal entertainment system which is nice for longer flights.

I haven't flown on a non Delta flight in almost 10 years. So not sure how the the competition stacks up now. I know I'll never willingly fly Spirit based on all the horror stories I've heard.

I try to fly into or through the biggest hub possible to my destination other than DFW, ATL, and Ohare (if possible).

Have status with United.

Northwest, but they don't exist anymore. The rest of them are dog shite.

Give Delta a try. They’ve improved so much in the last 10 years. Arguably the best domestic main line out there now.

Although that’s like being the thinnest kid at fat camp.

Why do people like busy airports? They absolutely suck. I have traveled enough to know to avoid them. No ATL, Chicago, Heathrow, etc for me.
