oneworld emerald is better than EXP (opinion)
I have come to a conclusion, Oneworld emerald (JV) not from AA is better than EXP
Oneworld emeralds get access to flagship lounges on every flight (EXP only get access on long haul international)
oneworld emeralds get access to flagship first checkin on every flight (EXP only get access on long haul international)
Oneworld emeralds get Free drink and snack in economy (same as EXP)
Oneworld emeralds get access to main cabin extra (same as EXP)
Oneworld emeralds get routed to the EXP desk (same as EXP)
The only benefits of EXP are upgrades however pre covid upgrades were getting difficult, both comp and SWU. The one world emerald benefits in my opinion make up for upgrades considering you earn far more valuable miles for less.
Let me know what y'all think.
