DL or CO
 

Flying DCA-SCL on my Delta miles. found 90K biz award, and choices are DL or CO.

which do i choose. never done either in international biz.

I have flown DL to EZE in BE. The seats are only 18.5 inches wide in the 767because they have 6 across instead of 5 in CO. And the food was not near as good in BE as in BF. But it is much easier to get award seats in DL's BE than in Co"s BF. For the last three years I have been able to get Business class awards on other carriers and not on CO. DL is not bad but I would prefer CO

CO does not fly its own metal to SCL, so is the CO reward on Copa metal? If so, it will be domestic first seating on 73G's the whole trip.

DL's BE product has improved greatly with the latest "refresh." The food is now almost as good as CO's BF food, the wines served are much better than the swill that CO serves, and the flight will have AVOD (but I think there are a handful of 763's that have not yet had the refresh). Everyone always complains that about the seats being only 18.5" wide, but they actually feel wider than one would assume, IME. In addition, DL's dedicated BE lounges are comfortable and serve real food, good wine, and top shelf liquor.

Go with DL, obviously.
