Jennifer Aniston pitches for Emirates

[ProudPilot]

For the same reason United does Kuwait - Bahrain on a 777. Because it can and it wants to.

I flew JFK-MXP by buying a coach class ticket and we had 4 choices: American, Delta, Alitalia, and Emirates. I chose Emirates. Prices were tied between American/Delta/United and Alitalia was the highest.

If I had to buy a ticket and prices were same across the board, my order would be: Emirates, Alitalia, Delta, then American.

See, I am loyal to Delta, because they get me there when they say they will 98% of the time. I don't have a problem with American, but there is always a chance to go through O'Hare and I HATE O'Hare. So United is an absolute no-go. Emirates I've had an OK flight experience with, nothing spectacular, but I'm also not flying first class.
