Help you decide based on what?

I don't understand why you would want to crowdsource the answer to what you should do, much less without providing us any information at all on what you value. We don't know whether you prioritize space, are flush with miles, love the Chicago skyline, hate the Chicago skyline, or just REALLY love AA short ribs.

What matters to you?

But if you really want the advice of randos you haven't told what you prioritize/value: the answer is behind door #3 - you book TWO Y seats on the nonstop!
