Is there a better major airline than Delta?

I get that it depends a lot on where you’re flying, and I know that Delta certainly is not perfect, but is there a major airline thats better?

I like Hawaiian and Jet Blue the best, but they don’t fly most the places I need to go.

So usually it’s delta for me.

I only wish they could serve me Dr pepper

7/31/21 9:13pm

You can't even begin to compare Delta to Qatar, Singapore, Emirates, Korean,

Alaska used to be very good, but we've had some real problems over the last few

Delta is by far the best in the U.S.

Unless you are me, then Delta sucks bad.

Domestic? No. International? Several.

Other things being nearly equal, I always fly Delta. Way better than other US mainline carriers

I don’t fly a lot but Delta hasn’t been any better than the others for me.

I soured on them like 20 years ago after they screwed me over and mostly avoided flying with them for years. But seems

Hawaiin and Alaska are awesome. Delta is is the best big airline for domestic

Alaska for me

7/31/21 9:27pm

I've been delayed longer and more often on Delta than any other airline.

As long as you have medallion status delta is king.

How hard is it to get medallion status?

If you have a delta Amex it's just a matter of charging a lot on the card.

Qatar is 1 or 2 on pretty much every list of the world’s best airlines

I have flown a lot of airlines. SWA is the most efficient and pleasant

But I don't know what seat I'll have. Waaaaaaaah!

7/31/21 10:49pm

Why are you crying like a baby?

zsmooth

7/31/21 10:54pm

It's satire. People cry like babies over not knowing where their seats will be.

7/31/21 10:58pm

I don’t fly SW cause I don’t like not having assigned seats. Is that crying like a baby?

Definition of satire:

8/1/21 7:01pm

Okay, so if you’re exaggerating, was i crying softly or something? Crying at all? Just trying to understand….

DL is the best in the States... but they are bush league compared to some foreign airlines.

I've flown all the majors. They all seem about the same

My brother told me this same thing, and he has well over 3 million miles flown.

7/31/21 10:34pm

Maybe out of SLC. Not in general.

garyfan

7/31/21 10:55pm

a fair point. in many respects it depends on where you live. routing is key

If your talking US, yeah, I guess - sort of. Internationally, not even close.
