Also, would you recommend US or UA? I cannot decide. I like US's F class upgrade policy - but UAL does have more chance of earning miles and as Gold, I will earn 100% extra vs. 50%. HELP ME decide please.
-A.
Given I haven't flown DL in a while so I don't know about unlimited, but I did fly their first a year ago, seats were ripped, no food, poor service, THANK GOD I didn't pay for it.
I guessing you're in a city served by the former America West, in which case US might be a better choice for you.
You have to decide what is important to you:
1) Frequent flier account balance ie the 50% bonus vs the 100% bonus
2) Upgrades to First Class
3) Quality of the Product
US/UA are in the *A so you have that whole alliance for flights, DL alliance I found INCREDIBLY limited.
