think most semi-objective people would say Delta, but perhaps by plurality (I'm not unbiased as I'm in Atlanta and we almost exclusively fly Delta). What's your home airport?
My home airport is both an Alaska and Delta hub. Alaska > Delta.

My favorite is Delta but Southwest is the most convenient since I can fly directly to almost anywhere out of MSY. A big plus when you travel with kids.

Fair enough, but I assume we're talking mainline carriers here

Alaska out of SEA is a mainline carrier. I have direct flights to most major domestic airports. Alaska has its own system of hubs, focus cities, and a regional airline, however it is west coast based. Even if you don’t live out west, Alaska is a good airline to use if you are near a major airport and need to fly to SEA or through it to connect flights to destinations in Alaska, Hawaii, or smaller regional west coast airports.

British Airways - excellent customer service, nice planes, classy accents…pricey but worth it.

They shouldn't have done that.

Houston is home, so Southwest and United. Companion and Gold status on the two, but making run for premier 1k, as SW has pissed me off with their boarding of late… has gotten out of control with the pre boards.
Like SW for rapid rewards and large planes 100% of the time
United for international options, boarding, and that they treat frequent flyers better.
Internationally, United to get over and Cathay as favorite.

I like Southwest. Get in, sit down, shut up, let’s go. I’m almost always on time and I do pay for the early checkin usually securing me an emergency row aisle seat. I check everything and fly with a book only. So few people check bags I find they get through the claim process pretty quick. I would probably carry on but I like to being my clubs with me as often as possible

United because I prefer IAH to ATL if I have to connect, and I have Silver status through Marriott. It isn't much, but it helps with Comfort seats and advance boarding.
Southwest if I'm travelling alone and light.
The Delta Sky Club is probably the better domestic club available, but unless I'm flying international, I don't seem to have much time to need a club.

I fly United, through and through. My status makes it easier to like, but the convenience is huge.
Live along the Blue Line in Chicago, so getting to/from ORD is easy. Family lives in Boston and Brooklyn - there are several legs to Logan each day + a dozen to LGA. For work, I'm usually out in Los Angeles and San Francisco. Both are, luckily, United hubs.

Southwest is my airline of choice. Have the CC and with the Rapid Rewards it doesn't take much to get free flights. Can't beat 2 free bags either. The employees are nice and the pilots usually have good jokes.
As far as favorite, I flew Qatar Airways once internationally, and it was an amazing experience. Great food, great service, shitload of movies, and plenty of space to sleep even in the "economy" section. That airport is insane too.

Southwest because I hate paying for bags and seat selection. I am always A List, earn lots of points for free flights and earn a companion pass. That is great since we travel a lot domestically and the wife can come along on my work trips for free. As we transition to empty nesters and travel more internationally, I may look into another rewards program. But for now it's hard to beat SWA.

United or American just because I have different perks. Southwest but I’m not a fan of their loading style. I wish southwest flew out of Baton Rouge. Really anything but spirit airlines

Since I live in Dallas, I basically have two choices: SWA or AA. I loathe AA and their culture and business model. I rarely fly international, but even SWA isn’t bad with the layover in HOU. Love is closer to home, smaller, and easier to navigate.
Posted on 6/13/22 at 1:27 pm to tduecen
United, American, Delta. Take your pick.
Posted on 6/13/22 at 4:38 pm to TheNolaClap
Live in Houston so United (wish it still was Continental)
International - best I've flown on are ANA , Singapore, and Lufthansa. Flying Qatar Airlines this Sunday - looking forward to it, as its supposed to be fantastic.

I typically fly whatever is the cheapest (outside of Spirit or Frontier or whatever), but my favorite to fly on is Delta or Jet Blue.

Not loyal to any airline but because I live in DFW area I find myself flying American the most. They tend to be cheaper than other airlines and almost all the flights I need are direct. Barring international flights, I bet i haven’t had a connecting flight domestically in over 5 years and its pretty much spoiled me.

Circling back to update my choice. F Southwest. Their boarding bullshite is out of control at this point.
Not only do they let everyone and their mom pre board, but the FAs have no common sense or ability to control the new class of morons flying and what they put in overheads, thus screwing up entire boarding process.
