Delta would have included an additional stop and lay over. United was FLL-SFO-ICN. Delta would have split the flight up with a stop in Houston, Ft Worth, or somewhere else and added an extra 5 hours travel time to the trip with that stop and lay over.
And the guy that employs me for these photo gigs gets better deals from United.
I’d have probably opted for Delta still if I was paying, though you’re not. I flew United a few times over the past two years for Chicago trips. I was pleasantly surprised that they had TV in their first class for a domestic flight. Not sure when they started that but it will cause me to fly them for direct flights in the future. Headed to Italy in September and may look into them for that. I did Polaris on a 767 to France back in 2016-2017 and it was not bad. The configuration of the plane was different due to it being a 767 and not 330 like Delta One but it was still good. Lufthansa was the best international first class I’ve done.
I see you fly American sometimes. I hate that airline. Flew their first class to England but I think it was a partner airline, British airways. Their US domestic is right up there with Spirit. Flew them to Bahamas back in April. First class had no TVs and didn’t serve food to Miami even though it was close to a three hour flight. Delta domestic shits on all carriers. United chasing them now I guess. Good for them.
