JetBlue and delta

You should fly Delta again. I think you did a long time ago maybe it will be better this time. I’m not an expert.

[@Roblox_Aviator]

I suggest emirates vs singapore airlines (eco or 1st class I’m not paying so you decide)

[@lawrenceseguin1865]

I recently took United from Brussels to Newark to Toronto. I liked the fact you could track your checked bags on their app. A great experience overall!

American has this feature too. It's always reassuring when you see your bag has been loaded on board.

I gave my United Airlines flight attendants a bag of candy when I first boarded and they were so excited and treated me like gold for the flight. They have a hard job and I wanted them to feel appreciated.

That is so nice of you

[@andrewsunde7915]

I will tell you this... You need to pick the same aircraft for these. You flew on a 737-MAX on United which is almost brand new and features their premium product. For American, you were on a regular old 737-800 and those things are old and dirty.

[@Terika-]

Completely agree. Eric should have chosen a comparable 737 MAX on AA to truly compare.

[@danisdemir1475]

Yeah i get what your saying but AA can clean the Airplane regardless if the Airplane is old or not.

[@Nnzx777]

I agree

True. However, not much difference between AA’s NG and Max. AA chose to go down the no IFE road.

[@carljd]

Having flown both of these carriers, I am going to tip my hat off to United. Friendlier crew and better chances of getting domestic flights on heavy aircraft. (Flying between Newark and O'Hare on Boeing 757/777s. 👍

When you went on United, you rode the 737MAX which was a much newer version than the American’s 737 that you were on. You can tell by the winglets.

[@JoshuaTheTransitProdigy]

My first flight as an adult was United Airlines. I flew from Newark Liberty International Airport to Edward "Butch" O'Hare International Airport. I flown on their Airbus A319-131 and returned on their Boeing B767-322ER. LOVELY experience and I also flown on United Express as the ERJ-175 and the CRJ-550.

[@caipirinha_king1632]

Always remember that American Airlines is the former US Airways with a new paint job. United earned some of my loyalty last year for doing two things. 1) My outbound flight was cancelled overnight. By the time I woke, they had automatically rescheduled me on another flight with a connected flight. My original flight was a direct flight. The connected flight upgraded my seat. On my inbound flight, I paid for 2 upgraded seats. The economy seats were pretty tight and horrible. 2) One day later after I had returned home, I had 4 refunds from United. One for the changed flight. Three for the upgraded seats Communication was great from the early notification of cancellation, to automatically being rescheduled, to the unexpected refunds.

[@DoxleyYT]

You can walk between terminals 1,2,3. Each one is connected to the other via a bridge way. So you could have went to the lounge in terminal 2 even if you are in terminal 1 with out going back through security or taking the airport train.

[@juliemagic]

I had the worst flight ever. We traveled with AA from Charlotte to PCB a few days ago and dealt with unpredictable, unprofessional staff. There was anxious staff, a depressed vibe, and pilots who did weird maneuvers. The weather was terrific. However, there was severe turbulence and some unpredictable actions, such as turning the plane, flying faster/slower, tilting, and getting higher/lower. We landed after 3 hours instead of 50 minutes. It was like they were having a training. That was felt like the plane would crash. That was a traumatic experience. Never again.

I think the reason security pats you down a lot is that you’re travelling back and forth between countries in a short time. I guess to security that seems suspicious?

[@spark_6710]

No ,that shouldn't be the reason as many businessmen do that ,too !! I used to fly back / forth here L.A.& Tokyo every 3 to 6 months ,never had the issue ! This was before 911 ,but my mom did fly often here / Tokyo as well between 2007 & 2008 & 2010 ,2013 ,no issues ! We flied in business classes ,though ! Maybe being Japanese women helped ? Lol. But,seriously lots of people have business in other countries fly often between the two countries & never experienced that ,I.think ! My family friend worked for a big music company & later worked for a movie industry & traveled here & Tokyo so often & never issues for that ! I know some Japanese friends fly back / forth the U S. & Japan ,but no issues ,either. Lol. I know we're not supposed to smile too much at 'em & have small talks with 'em I heard ! Lol.💜🥁🐉🎤🎶💞

As an AAdvantage Million Miler I have to thank you for pointing out that United as in flight entertainment with video screens, whereas AA, under the misguided management of USAirways management tore all of the video screens out. I'm so disappointed that I built up so much mileage on American only to discover that when USAirways management took over they basically ruined the airline.

[@Thatguyjack758]

I never had any issues with delays or cancellations with either of these airlines. Although on a United flight from Chicago to Frankfurt I was almost thrown off the plane bc I didn’t know where the bathroom was and didn’t know I wasn’t supposed to cross the curtain into business class. And on American it once took three hours for my bags to come in flying back from Paris (via Dallas Fort Worth), but other than these setbacks, I’ve never had a problem with American or United.

I recently took a round trip to Japan with United and was very satisfied with both flights. Shortly after this trip I went to NYC with American and had a pretty bad experience. Probably won't ever fly American again, my flight got delayed overnight and they refused to reimburse me in any way. Last year I flew Hawaiian Airlines to Hawaii and this was definitely the best airline I've ever flown

Also? Apparently since you originated in YYZ (CYYZ) any "complaints" about the lack of an airport lounge have NO bearing on United. As you said, Air Canada. And? Seriously when you mention "delays"? Don't just focus on scheduled push-back time. Focus on the scheduled arrival time. THAT is what matters.

For American, you have to really chose your flights for the experience you want. The newer planes have the better set up. Just have to look at what plan is used for which flight. Looks like you were on an old 737 which American won’t retro fit with inflight entertainment because they are cheap. But the newer flights are really nice. They tend to us the older ones for shot haul flights and the newer ones for long haul.

Couple of things that I noticed is that you did not mention that you can connect your Bluetooth headphones to the United entertainment system. I happen to see when you were setting up the monitor that the ad for Bluetooth connectivity popped up on your screen. United gives you a choice of three free snacks on most flights, so I wonder in this case, if you did not get a snack because Chicago to Toronto is much shorter than Chicago to Boston. I fly Chicago Boston quite frequently and almost always receive a choice of snacks on United. I agree the seats are more padded and the headrest for sure on American.
