While I don't use them too often, (I hate traveling thru Denver), I do use them to some of my rarer areas that I serve for clients. I dropped American last year for that reason, including dropping the AAdvantage credit card I carried. Currently, I am using (in order of preference): Southwest (get there ontime..no frills/don't expect them) USAir (for East Coast trips) Continental uses BUSES (VANS) for some of the areas I service and............FIRST on my list for SERVICE: CONTINENTAL! Despite the griping I have heard about this airline, I have found they have been more than willing to assist with difficult transfers/upgrades etc. I recently flew Business First to and from Hawaii with miles........and had no trouble getting a seat. I even had to change my return trip (while in Hawaii) and they still managed to put me in Business First. The flight attendants were wonderful. I fly a roundtrip somewhere almost weekly. American/Northwest (or Northworst in this household), are on my "not unless there is no other way" list. United may be put on it shortly.
