Creator's Key Takeaways
But when a great United Mileage Plus deal for tickets to Honolulu with a super inexpensive upgrade to Premium Plus became available, I was willing to split our itinerary between the two.
And honestly, they're an almost identical product. While each airline may do things a little bit differently or get slightly different food even with our special meals, they are all but replaceable for each other.
So, my advice is to let your loyalty status, your preferred airport, and perhaps most importantly, your price make your decision for you.
