I typically prefer Delta over American. After head-to-head flights, the rival airline is growing on me.

• I recently flew back-to-back on American Airlines and Delta Air Lines in domestic economy.
• Delta has better WiFi options, but I prefer the in-flight entertainment set-up on American.
• Neither is a dealbreaker. My future bookings will likely be based on price and convenience.

There were few flight options out of the tiny Tallassee, Florida, regional airport I lived near growing up, but my family mostly flew Delta Air Lines.

Its good customer service and usually on-time flights have kept me as a fan of the airline well into adulthood.
