From above, and more recent posts, seems that CO will still match me up to CO Platinum till Feb 2012.
How about DL? WIll they match DL Plat for AA EXP and/or BD G?
You should decide based on:
1. Which airport is more comfortable for you? For example, if you live next to JFK, opt for DL.
If LGA is also comfortable for you, choose DL because LGA is one of their Focus Cities.
2. DL only matches until GOLD. I contacted them this week, told them that I have
LY Plat, LH Senator, BD Gold & BA Gold and asked for Plat. They told me
no, only Gold. However, CO will give you Plat.
3. What destination do you intend to fly to/from NYC. For example - if you intend to fly BOS a lot, then opt for CO, as DL only operates regional jets on the JFK/LGA-BOS route. If you intend to fly MCO a lot then go for DL as they have flights from both LGA&JFK. If you intend to fly to PHX go for CO as DL only operates 1 daily JFK-PHX while CO operates 4 daily EWR-PHX, US 3 daily EWR-PHX & 3 daily JFK-PHX.
4. DL only matches until Feb 2011!
