The Victors

I'll agree on Delta, but I don't see the difference between United and American. Alaska has the advantage of hubs (SEA, PDX) that don't tend to become an operational mess like ORD, IAD, SFO, LAX ,JFK, etc*.*

  • Frontier gets a lot of shit here but if you play their game it's not that bad. - By dnvrblue August 25, 2026 at 12:03:27 PM
  • Delta has a dogshit loyalty program. Alaska/Hawaiian is def #1 if considering loyalty. Best cobranded card + all the status perks work for American flights too - By Ks August 25, 2026 at 12:01:35 PM
    • My rankings are mostly just on frequency of delays, quality of economy class, plane comfort and ease of carry on. Things like rewards, lounges were secondary* - By Daytripper August 25, 2026 at 12:21:37 PM
    • I do a lot of points via credit cards and turn them into international business class tickets. Delta is by far the worst place to redeem miles. They don't call them Sky Pesos for nothing* - By Asquared August 25, 2026 at 12:05:14 PM

    • United has better App than American and seatback entertainment for domestic flights. They also have more extra room seating. - By BBA August 25, 2026 at 11:54:21 AM
      • If that's the criteria then Alaska is below both of them* - By Asquared August 25, 2026 at 11:56:58 AM
  • Don’t know how you could fly enough with them all regularly enough to have a take * - By BBA August 25, 2026 at 11:48:26 AM
    • really? i fly 3-4 times a year domestically and it isnt for business so as a middle aged person ive flown all those airlines at least once the last 5 years. im sure others fly much more* - By Daytripper August 25, 2026 at 11:57:56 AM
  • They're all fucking terrible.* - By LS&Play August 25, 2026 at 11:38:33 AM
  • Delta, jetBlue, United. Try to avoid all others unless if possible.* - By Eric August 25, 2026 at 11:37:08 AM
