Devil's Advocate

Good to know. I have not yet flown on any ME3, in part because they rarely show up in my searches, are not as logistically advantageous for North American pax, and I have some issues with the morals/ethics of the host countries. That being said none of these issues are enough to prevent future travel and the day will likely come when an ME3 flight works for me. These days I mainly fly AA/DL domestic and JL/NH international but I'm generally open to new airlines and aircraft.The US3-ME3 alignments look as follows:
1. AA - QR
2. UA - EK
3. DL - ?
Of course the only one of the classic Gulf States ME3 left to pick is Etihad.
Yikes. Was it a 787? UA + 787 always seemed to be a MX problem back when I flew them regularly. That being said UA did help me when the inbound ORD clusterfork was going to leave me stranded (on AA). I was confused by the insistence that I present my transfer document to a UA kiosk but once they let me approach the counter everything worked out.I felt similarly disoriented when I first flew in August last year, and that was a trip to India that involved a giant IROPS, being rerouted and rebooked by UA from a EWR - (UA) - DEL - (Vistara) - CCU, to EWR - (UA) - MUC - (LH) - BOM - (AI) - CCU arriving almost exactly 24 hours later, all due to a UA mechanical issue at EWR. UA did provide hotel and food in Newark.
This a good point but unlike F/J on AA/DL/UA routes that offer Mint service on B6 are relatively limited.JetBlue Mint is technically Business Class, but with lie-flat seats and real meals.
