BA is much better in many ways:
- Lounges, particularly returning w CCR at T5
- Pre-Flight dining at ORD
- Pajamas and mattress for bed/sleep
- Thicker curtains and carpets to reduce noise from galley, etc, provide a quieter atmosphere
- Generally better menu, served a la carter when you want
- Better wines
- More consistent inflight service compared to AA
The only thing AA has going for it are:
- Flagship Suites are a bit more spacious
- AA doesn't have a fuel surcharge, so it will be cheaper
