Oh, I misread the original post. The question is for someone who will be living in San Francisco. If that is the case, then have one's primary frequent flyer programs as United and Alaska and maybe JetBlue and Delta as secondary choices. For JFK flights, take Alaska unless the fare is too high, then take another airline. However, one is taking a red eye flight SFO-JFK and is able to take first class, then don't fly Alaska. JetBlue has lie flat seats. I would have to research the question before knowing whether AA or DL has them. I would guess that AA doesn't. Lie flat seats allow one to function the next day in NY but still don't compare with a hotel bed and quiet.

If one is flying economy class, AA and AS have the same seating pitch but surprisingly, Alaska gives about an inch more leg room due to seat design.
