They have good award use on CX, EK, and some others too so their miles are quite valuable right now.

Thanks Maverick.

I was looking at Alaska but unfortunately they don't do direct, a 7 AM flight lands in LAX after two layovers at 12 PM

I'm struggling with either Delta or sticking with Southwest. I like how Delta has better product and true international travel but I'm weary of their low award availability.
