I'm currently Silver on DL and Premier on UA, but I want to drop one airline and focus exclusively on the other to build up better elite perks.
So...anyone have strong opinions on whether I should hitch my wagon to DL or UA? Thanks.
Where do you fly internationally, and do you stick with Y or do you buy C? I'm thinking that if you're primarily in Y, UA's E+ might make long trips more tolerable than DL's offerings. And even if you don't need E+, with *A you can fly AC which, I am told, has a very nice Y product for international.
Me, I've never been much of a fan of NW in the past, but haven't actually flown DL. Could be things are better, but with NW, seating was cramped and, for domestic, there was rarely IFE. That was then, things could be different now.
