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.

I like American and the games and movies in the headrest in the seat in front of you. Makes time pass quick. Others may offer this as well but haven’t seen it

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.

I was surprised to see the good selection of options. United has gone to a passenger personal electronic based model

I usually go with cheapest tickets I can find with the exception of Spirit.

I would never, under any circumstance, fly Spirit.

I recently flew American and that was nice. Delta offers this, as well. I love having movies to watch on the plane in the headrest in front of you - makes flying enjoyable.

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.

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
