I'm (mostly) a leisure traveller and hence acquire little to no status as I choose an airline based on itinerary, schedule, type of aircraft, and reviews. Yes, I know reviews are
largely subjective, but sometimes one can glean a pattern of sentiment flying on a particular itinerary. And, yes price also does fit in there somewhere, but not necessarily all in that order. I'm flying out today on a purchased F ticket on AA and hopeful it'll go well; PDB and all. Will report back. DL was also an option and the fare difference with AA wasn't much, but the schedules weren't as attractive and mostly entailed connecting through ATL which I'll do, but usually prefer to avoid especially during summer (thunderstorm) season. Here's to hoping connections through CLT are easier. It's my first time flying through there.
