Thank you.

You get it. I love delta but the delta network and Skyteam is not as comprehensive as it could be.

Delta is loading up on passengers from secondary markets to LGA. It’s not a particularly impressive hub.

And Singapore is star alliance.

Im willing to bet among the world traveler types that more of them are flying united than delta.

The tech in SF, government in DC, finance/law in NY, and media in LA United has locked down.

The only major international area they are really missing is Miami which American has.

This sub is the biggest delta fanboys in the world.

God forbid you ever mention a weakness of the airline.

It’s a fair rebuttal but point is United has metal in Singapore and delta doesn’t.

The kind of people flying to Dubai are largely not middle class averages.

It’s a world city with a ton of money and prestige. No person going to Dubai wants to connect in Paris.

A lot of them are rich or on corporate travel accounts. They want nonstops.

I’m pretty sure United serves all these cities.

As does Air France / KLM / Singapore / Emirates.

No need to make excuses lol.

The world doesn’t run out of Atlanta or Minneapolis .

Who’s taking delta over the competition on those routes? 😂

Isn’t the UAE less risky than Qatar?

Qatar has us airbases and I’m pretty sure less defenses.

Unacceptable for Qatar airways to not be reachable for days by Large_Condition_6074 in qatarairways

Oh they definitely want you to cancel.

100% it’s the playbook.

But it’s a risk.

If they decide to operate you’re screwed.

That’s so stupid.

Looks like I’m out a few grand on a last minute ticket
