American vs Delta vs United - BUSINESS CLASS BATTLE | London to New York

[@farahmasarweh8271]

I really like this series of comparisons :) whether it is 3/4 class comparison or business class in 3 airlines, love it. Maybe next a Qatar vs Etihad vs Emirates updated business version?

[@charliesandoval9277]

I fly American all the time and also enjoy the ice-cream sundae; such a treat! Plus getting to use the OneWorld partner lounges is a true perk! Love you guys doing these comparisons and I might try the champagne challenge on my next flight.

[@xinyan3641]

14:04, one thing that I did really like about United was the fact that the crew would be very respectful of personal space. Usually on my flights with them, they don't loom over you and quite constantly will squat down to make you more comfortable.

[@PV96]

I lived in China for ten years. I returned to the USA 4 times each year. I always flew Delta business class. I loved it. The service was always phenomenal!!

[@justfIy]

I come from the United family and I also currently work for United Airlines however after watching this I can say 100% that Delta takes the cake for this challenge

[@ajs11201]

Having flown all of the airlines over the years, I can attest that the Delta crew always win out for service over the other airlines. Sure, there are good and bad people in any industry and in any company, but overall the Delta team really elevate the experience above the other airlines.

[@vicpz1]

Right. Delta crew feel like they’re happy to be working there. However AA always feel like they’re fed up. Not happy and entitled.

[@mar_man813]

United hard product is excellent. The food and service from flight attendants is always abysmal. Every time I'm in United business I get attitude from the flight attendants -- "put on your seatbelt!" and "We serve drinks with food only!" and "Unplug your phone before pushback!" Although they're within their right to convey this information, it's the WAY they convey it that's always wrong. It's always adversarial and reminds me of the way American police like to do their jobs -- Us vs. Them mentality on United, always.

[@Ad-Lo]

@@mar_man813 just reading that, “put on your seatbelt” made me think, “Wow, so rude.” Hmmmm. Thanks for this comment. I wouldn’t pay extra for that kind of poor service.

It’s indeed fascinating that it’s Business Class in 3 different airlines. That’s awesome.

[@robertbrown4872]

Delta crew are the happiest (in general), so it's no surprise that the service would be so friendly. As an American, Delta is my favorite of the three for US travel, but for transcontinental travel some Delta planes in Business are MUCH older than even seen here. American's product is much more consistently good. Tip: if you book on Delta in business for transatlantic and are using miles, pounds or dollars make sure it's a newer airplane!!

[@Saints.fan09]

Very true the newer planes are better

Yes. Nowadays there can be huge difference between business class seats, but the price is the same.

Living in Denver (United hub), I fly United almost exclusively. They’re a decent enough airline, but I’ll be the first to agree their catering is complete rubbish. That said, seeing a couple of you get so excited about ice cream sundaes made me chuckle. I mean… It’s ice cream. (Not you Liam. Everything you do and say is adorable! 😘)

[@focusontheessentials]

Yes, people are silly when they fly. That stupid United Sundae... you can get the ice cream, choco sauce, nuts and whip cream... all for like $5 at Walmart (maybe $6.50 now with the inflation) and you'd have like 10 servings of it. United love it when its cheap ideas get people all excited.

Great comparison of the 3! Super small opportunity to make it even better would have been to give maybe 10 or 15 seconds to the Delta "Someone Somewhere" somewhat sustainable amenity kit background, and the QR code where you can get background on the bag designer. But overall a really good comparison of the 3!

You guys are crazy....fun! Delta for me!! thanks for this video. I was trying to decide which airline business class to try on a May trip to Amsterdam.

[@seunghoonlee7529]

I experienced UA Polaris on their SFO-ICN route. The Polaris lounge at SFO should be one of the top in all business lounges in the world for their catering options and quality. The seat hardware was amazing but the inflight catering was somehow disappointing. And with my AA flagship business class experience on their LAX-HND and ZRH-PHI, I would say the food in the lounge and onboard was quite impressive but the crew service was so cold. And the amenity kits they offered were disappointing both before and after the pandemic though I consider the down sizing the budget among the aviation industry. Waiting for the Delta One so that I could compare the three giants airlines all!

[@sonnyrowles1769]

Brilliant as always, would adding a final segment on the arrival process add any value to the video?

[@Purely-Flight]

Lol I saw the points guy logo on my last delta flight. Pretty cool!!

[@michaelwatt5007]

Thanks for a fantastic video. AA, UA, and DL all definitely have their unique strong points in business class. I think the Collins Super Diamond seats used by AA are fantstic, and they in fact are available with a privacy door to make them even better. Food and beverage looked very appealing on all three carriers, but I will say that Delta One stood out as particularly strong in that categroy. Lastly, an advantage of the Delta One seats is that they are all forward facing as opposed to angled, but I still suspect that the AA (Super Diamond) is the best product in terms of seat width and comfort. I will have to try all of them to see for myself!

[@michellestevens2454]

I am surprised at how little is being put the amenity kits now. Flew American premium economy in 2019 and there was more stuff in the kit. In 2018 they were providing slippers too.

[@bowdej02]

Nicky clearly favours Delta. Not sure if i would call it a fair review, as the channel is featured on the door and i suspect a Sam Chui style of treatment was given. I would of maybe rotated Nicky on the United or AA flight. I normally avoid Delta due to their ageing fleet, but the service/food looked amazing - so this has changed my perspective. Great video again lads.

[@coolbreeze253]

I have pot loads of award miles with AA, UA and DL. However, since I travel internationally with my wife in business from the U.S. and no longer fly for business, I redeem them judiciously. For example, on my preferred dates in early 2023 AA wants 76,000 each way, UA 60,000 and DL 120,000. I live near Delta's home in Atlanta, but for half the redemption amount I'll make a connection on UA or AA rather than a non-stop. In late December, 2021 I flew DFW-LHR-ATH with AA/BA for 57.5K. Delta wanted 320,000 one way. Sorry Delta. You lost me.

[@johniii8147]

Nothing new for DL. They trashed the Skymiles program years ago now. But it most be working for them since they have the highest margins in the business, so they must be selling most of the seats rather than giving away with miles.

[@zork999]

On the other hand, their partner Air France has some of the lowest redemption amounts.

[@jkjkjk100]

I love delta except for skypesos… but i found the best redemption ever over the pacific!

[@barbarahallowell2613]

@@zork999 this in my head the only real benefit 😀

[@martind323]

This doesn’t help you now but keep an eye on Delta for deals. Delta did have a sale on Delta One awards to Europe about a month or so ago. They had 148,000 Delta One RT to lots of European cities. I managed to snag a Delta One RT to LHR for 148,000 miles. I’ve been watching for a long time to use up the remainder of my SkyMiles but it is always 400,000 even 700,000 one time I looked.

[@jayiwa]

Finally, I've been waiting for this comparison in years. Thanks a lot. I've always wondered if any of them is worth a try. I've always been told to stick to European carriers. Honestly, AA in this review even seems much better than many BA flights I've taken on this route.

[@johniii8147]

It's outdated advice to stick to European carriers in J. The big 3 upped their game quite a while ago in business class.

[@jayiwa]

@@johniii8147 Yeah I thought so. The moment I wanted to try them everyone around me kept saying to avoid. Next time I’ll definitely try them myself, although I must bear in mind that these 3 guys might’ve got better service if the crews knew they were KZbinrs.

[@jayiwa]

The hard products seem awesome, even for the Delta’s old style.

[@nh2301]

@@jayiwa US Ailines generally have a decent hard product. Where they fail is in the catering and especially the in flight service. With very rare exceptions, it's abysmal. The last couple of years of cost cutting has made it even worse.

[@tracymckenzie8513]

Does that include the new BA Club Suites, have you flown in one of them?

[@petrovichbauer5105]

As a 30yr DL Captain, I can say that we are the ears and eyes of the airline. We see things nobody else does. My guess is most airline cabin service very similar but the big difference between airlines is what you don’t see. For example, when I see a passenger frantically waving at us from the terminal window at departure time and the cabin door is still open, I go back to the boarding door and mention this to the agent. They are under EXTREME pressure to depart ON TIME, but I accept the delay to get them on. Sure, I’ll get a call from the Chief Pilot, and they say that “on time” is what passengers want, but is that really true? We hate getting these calls about waiting for connecting luggage, fixing something small, or enough catering to feed everyone, but I don’t mind. I know there are sometimes more important things comparing business lounges. So next time you fly, please consider what happens up front and how we affect your travel experience. A small tweet to management might be nice.

[@lindadepascale8290]

I agree with you 100%. I have friends who are retired pilots and I always ask who do prefer to fly with now. This includes my Father who was a WW2 bomber pilot and the answer is 109% Delta. Why? Because they think Delta runs the tightest, most rigorous crew training, maintenance, ground operations in the US. Sure there are always ways to improve the hard product, customer service and catering with all domestic US carriers but for me arriving safely is most important.
