Well, I'm not all new to this world of frequent flyer programs but I am considering making a change. I'm located in New York pretty close to either their LGA or JFK. I'm a LOT farther from EWR. I am lifetime gold on United and lifetime Platinum on American. I've cut back my travel so I'm not doing nearly as much as I used to (it was about 200,000+ miles per year). Given the way schedules and service have been changing here, and not for the better in my estimation, I'm wondering if it's worth considering a switch to Delta. I typically fly full fare economy or first domestically and premium economy or some version of that or business internationally. I doubt I'll do enough travel per year to go above either the Platinum level that I'm at now on American, where most of my current flying is, or at most Platinum Pro on American. I figure I already get free access to extra legroom coach seating on American anyways and I'm not sure how much more I'll get than that if I fly them more. Any thoughts?
