Hey folks,
I have a trip from LAX-PPT on TN that I booked on AA using Award miles. Hurray. Now, I'm working on booking SFO-LAX separately.
It looks like I have two options:
1. via UA @ $70
2. via AA @ $113
Should I take UA or AA?
The pros of taking AA is that I could then ask them to interline at SFO. And in theory, if things go awry on the AA SFO-LAX flight resulting in missing the TN flight, they should take care of me... right? (Is this a good assumption)
On the other hand the UA flight is a slightly better time, and it's almost 50% the price! But then I'd have to pick up my bags and re-check them in, correct?
What would you do?
both are equally unreliable at this point. i'd probably choose AA, as I think they are slightly less unreliable out of SFO than UA. book a long "layover" (at least 2 hours, preferably 3).
