Is United or American Airlines better?

I’ve flown both and had decent experiences, but delays and cancellations can mess up any trip. What saved me once was having the Best Travel Insurance, especially when my flight got canceled and I had to rebook everything. They covered a bunch of extra costs I didn’t expect, including a hotel stay and meals. Definitely made the mess less stressful.

I’ve had similar experiences with both — honestly it often feels route- and airport-dependent more than airline-dependent. In your case, was the delay weather-related or operational? Curious if insurance actually makes the difference more often than choosing between United vs American.

I usually go with whichever airline gives me the best deal on business class, since both have their pros and cons. I’ve used travelbusinessclass.com a couple of times to compare prices and book, and it saved me a bunch on flights that were way more expensive elsewhere. It's been solid so far for last-minute work trips.
