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.

Sing Air and EVA mostly. When in the US, United
Posted on 1/22/18 at 7:07 am to lsugradman
I fly approximately 60 times per year. United has the best status perks to me, especially with international / Star Alliance trips.
Delta still flies MD-88s with ash trays. I don't see how you can say they have a new fleet.

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.

Delta - most flights are to Canada.
Posted on 1/22/18 at 7:29 am to Gugich22
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.
Posted on 1/22/18 at 8:20 am to Gugich22
AA because I have never had issues.
I do try to avoid the MD-80's though.

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.

As soon as the world's busiest airport is no longer the model of operational efficiency and cost.
Three simultaneous arrivals even in Cat II conditions? While still departing off of two inboard runways? O'Hare has 5 parallels, and a sixth useble runway if you count 4R/22L in west flow, but they can't seem to get out of their own way because of the number of runway crossings required because.....
Arrivals on 10/28 have a long taxi, I'll grant you that, but anything coming onto the 8/26 pair has the end around taxiway on the west side, never have to stop to cross an active runway.

Nobody gives one s*** how many planes pass through your airport when they are scheduled 30 minutes longer to account for all that taxiing time.
That is not an ATL thing, it is an industry thing. Delta and United both pad their block times network wide. Just compare block to flown on any route (flightaware.com). Look at Southwest, JetBlue, or even Spirit at ATL. Their block time allowance for taxi are no different than anywhere else.

I will fly whoever is cheapest and most direct. I do hate American... There is always some issue on their flights such as way late, lost luggage and really old, shitty planes... but living in Dallas they are hard to avoid. I like Virgin but they are on the way out.

Southwest. Good rewards program, cheap, and is normally an option for where I travel. Plus, I have to go to Houston for work or to see family every now and then and it's so much better dealing with Hobby airport than George Bush
Posted on 1/22/18 at 3:53 pm to Gugich22
Southwest probably 95% of the time. But I do live in Dallas and just a few minutes away from Love Field, which is a fantastic airport.
SWA's points accumulate the fastest and go the furthest. Can't beat that Companion Pass.
Internationally I like Lufthansa.

I was thinking of making the switch to United but my first 2 flights this year were not that great at all.

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

Delta is no better than the other legacy airline and lacks the service and domestic flights that SWA has. So many of the regionals flying under the Delta banner are really bad in terms of on time and fleet reliability that they really should take the Delta name off of their planes.
Hey cumlicker... I said British Airways and Etihad were better than all US airlines. I didn't say Delta was. U B Dumbman
