Delta is not perfect, but compared to United and American it’s practically Singapore/Emirates vs Spirit/Ryanair. The whole experience is better in every way.

May not be everyone’s experience, and if you live in a big hub city for one of the others they might be better. But for me, I only book something else if it will save me a plane change.

We flew Southwest last month from MCO - LAS (we’ve been twice this year) because we wanted to try it and SW has more non stop flights than Delta from MCO.

We knew about the non assigned seats. But flying Southwest without assigned seats is like a reenactment of Peloponnesian War (“We are Sparta!!”). We said we would do a layover before flying SW again.

My wife chose to fly Spirit back to LAS when she went to a conference over flying SW and that’s saying a lot.

And those are two of the worst flying cities in the US. MCO, piles of families that have never flown before doing a once-in-a-lifetime trip. LAS, drunks who don’t know how to keep a lid on it.
I don’t have an issue with SW. The seat thing never bugged me too badly.
But no first class. And if I can’t afford business/first, I can’t afford the trip these days. I would rather stay home.
