You bitch over the littlest things sometimes. Have an elitist attitude and i'm not the only one who's called it out. Like these airlines owe you all the free tv, movies, wifi, etc. in the land. Just seems like you're reaching here and want to let everyone know what elite airlines you've flown and that SW is for peasants. 

wacky, we are comparing and contrasting airlines right now. delta is better, and it sounds like you agree with me.

I never rely on the airline to entertain me. Netflix and prime both let you download to a device. I think maybe hbogo does too. I also keep a large collection of torrented movies around just for planing.

I will watch some football or something sometimes tho and sw doesn't need an app and when it did I was able to dl it from their wifi so basically mocat is just a huge liar.

Also mcat has never had a boarding, so that's why he hates sw. I would probably hate it too if I was a c class pleb

It's so easy tho to get "A" or "B" boarding tho. Even with "C" I go all the way to the back of the plane find an aisle seat still.

Phil how many times have you ponded in the last 3 years?
This line of questioning seems extremely close to fanning bragging or "lol only that many times then why do you care" response but in last 3 years, 2. Two more being planned between now and 2018.

Not a ton but those trips are what I like to use my points for...so earning them with domestic flights in between is more valuable to me.

i like organized boarding processes, the biggest seats in coach of any airline , overhead space, not paying for checking bags if needed, no charge cancellation policies, the best rewards programs, and reality tv.

the rest is subjective- i'll let you pick delta outside of those margins though

Delta is okay.  I hate their shitty little airplanes sometimes.  Staff isn't as friendly as most.  Bag fees pfft.

Agreed. I keep a good stash of swa points just for speculative flight buying (bowl games, etc)

Looks like both airlines are pretty similar when it comes to elite rewards programs.

plenty of information out there rating rewards programs, read up.  outside of an outlier for mci (alaska), swa's program is consistently rated above the majors.

Lol only twice?  Why do you even care?

(Serio tho), do you earn a good bit from domestic flights?  I feel like even when I was traveling more for work I'd still earn considerably more rewards just through my sign-up bonuses and spend.
