NEVER fly Frontier or Spirit. No one traveling for business should. Too unpredictable.
Phoenix is my hub and the routes I fly the most often match AA and UA. Delta not so much.
I like the Airbus planes of AA and the service seems a slight notch above United.
I used to fly exclusively on United in the 90's and 00's and was elite status for about 6 years straight. I also used them from Newark to Tokyo, Hong Kong and Beijing.
The airport clubs of AA and UA are similar but they are no longer exclusive and always overcrowded with shit food. You need to enter international airlines clubs to see real high end experience and comfort. I'm not sure I have ever been in Delta's club.
Singapore Airlines is on a whole other level, both the flights and clubs.
Lufthansa and British Airlines are also nice but haven't been on any of these in many years.
Qantas and Swiss Air very good.
Perks are hard to tell the difference as they are all close with a few unique things for all top tier fliers. The airline branded credit cards are also huge these days.
As someone posted prior, flying in 2024 is much worse than pre-9/11
