Which regional has the best travel benefits ?

[viper548]

At SkyWest you get both because you can and often do fly United express one day and Delta connection the next.

Chautauqua gets benefits on Delta, Us Airways and United.

and American, Southwest, ATA, JetBlue

One thing to consider, ASA/CMR gets higher boarding priority than the contract carriers on Delta. S3 vs S3B.

With the flights as full as they are, that is often an issue.

OTOH, having a 2nd affiliated mainline carrier to geton is worth something as well.

All depends where you live, where you're based and where you're trying to go.

At Chautauqua it depends on where you are based for your Binnies. For Example, If your based in GSO they do flying for United, UsAir, and Delta. You and your family members would get bennies on all 3 airlines. Whoever you fly for out of that base is who you get bennies for.

While in college I was a Station agent for Delta and then ASA. I would say that HANDS DOWN Delta has the best travel bennies. For one, It's Free and you can travel on big Skyteam members. IE Aeromexico, Air France, and Korean Air.

I would have to say ASA/Comair. Unlimited domestic travel (S3) and also some (S2s)at no cost. The skyteam portion has changed, you now have to buy an ID90.

Pay?

Anyone flying in the Airways system has the best. You get isssued a travel card that you pay for at the beginning of the year and you and immediate family start flying.. Not like other airlines that have per leg charges or the dumbest..United .04 cents per mile what a pain in the butt! USAir's travel bennies rule!

Wholly owned Employees do not pay the annual fee...Haven't in years!
(Not to say that it wouldn't or can't come back!

It's actually an ID96 for Skyteam members (except NW/CO is ID95).

At 9E our benefits are identical to NWA. Having spent all of my career at regional airlines, this is the best set I've ever had.

Am I the only one who notices '9E' rhymes with 'henie'?

Why is it that everyone on this forum snipes at Pinnacle? I guess Mesa bashing got boring.
