Re: Delta is a joke maybe Amex will go for United's business?

I suppose it all boils down to your personal experience.  I simply dislike United because I am always stuck on a regional jet that is almost always delayed.  And too, I should add--If you look at most airlne customer satisfaction surveys - United is ranked consistenly at the bottom.

I had status on united last year so it got me upgraded to first on one flight and let me pick extra leg room seats on others. My delta flight wasn't as nice. Granted I don't find any of the US carriers to be all that stellar. Regional flights can always fluctuate and fortunatly I haven't had to deal with any of those recently.

Maybe it's a regional thing. Delta's product in MI, when I've flown, is inferior to American's offerings, and Delta has lost my luggage last 3 flights in a row. Other people will tell me they wouldn't fly anyone other than Delta, and have stories about AA, UA, etc..

Re: Delta is a joke maybe Amex will go for United's business?

It depends how many seats Delta purchased of Korean Air inventory. At some point it is cheaper for Delta to fly people on their own metal. American always routes me on Hawaiian Air for anything Business class to Australia. Delta had some good awards for Tokyo in October but it was to the wrong airport. With any airline card it's best to be flexible.

I was able to score a flight from SFO to Buenos Aires on Delta for 67.5K miles.

 

Call me crazy, but I'm still stoked on Delta.

Yeah, just yeah. I was visiting a grad school on of the times, and Delta DID reimburse me for some slacks and a dress shirt to be fair, but still, it was rediculous that it's happened that many times.
