SFO to SJO question

I have a choice in biz/first from SFO to SJO on AA, CO, or TA. I have status on UA & AA, and I don't need the miles. AA goes through DFW, CO throuth IAH, and TA through SAL. Anyone have experience and/or recommendation in biz/first on this or similar route?

I wouldnt fly TA, simply not on the same level as AA or CO

if AA is going through MIA forget it.........the return (dealing with immigration etc) is crazy

I havent flown AA F via DFW , I fly CO F all the time and they are very good , plus IAH is a good airport to go through

you would have access at the Presidents Club at both SFO and IAH since you are flying international F

Thanks. I am leaning to CO. The fare is a little cheaper. I would never go through immigration in MIA if at all possible. I've been through it once, and that was enough.

Try out CO. I hear they are good. Went through Miami immigration recently. Not a madhouse zoo since we were a really early flight, but boy it was a mile-long trek from AA plane to immigration.

I booked on CO going through IAH. Having access to the lounge between flights is a big plus. Thanks.

your key to get in the lounges is the boarding pass for the international leg. you won't get passes or vouchers or anything like that, just show your international boarding pass in F and an id and you are good to go

gl and hope you enjoy your stay in SJO
