Talk me into/out of Delta

[karly05]

Thank you all for the feedback so far, good and bad.

I still have plenty of time to book, and still waiting and watching fares and schedules, but right now it is looking like Delta for the win. Not only because the return schedule is much much better than AA (no having to catch ME at 5:15 am or else get home after dark), but because... I just went on both tonight to check fares. All of a sudden, if I want the AA flight that gets me to MCO at 12:50 pm, it has jumped up to about $220 more than the AA flight that gets me to MCO at 2 pm. Yikes! The Delta that gets to MCO at 1:26 is currently matching the cheaper AA flight.

I love air travel...

Delta is known for changing flight times. The furher out you book, the more liable (but not guaranteed) there will be a change.

However, I prefer Delta. They offer free snacks (cookies, pretzels, or peanuts) and a drink (I am pretty sure AA doesn't. They have a decent phone app that allows you to use your phone as a bp and it can track your bags.

American has beverage services on every flight.

I won't ever fly AA again. I haven't had any problems with delta. They have always been super friendly and they have those delicious biscoff cookies!!
