Airplanes are designed to withstand a lightning strike, but this one sounds like it was pretty bad.
I flew economy on American, Delta, and United. The flights were strikingly similar but with small quirks that may help you choose which airline to fly.

The US has three "Big 3" mainline carriers: American Airlines, Delta Air Lines, and United Airlines.
Frequent flyers commonly have a favorite, whether for the fares, on-time rate, route options, or the airline's loyalty program.
I have historically favored Delta because it's what my family always flew growing up. But these days, I usually book based on price and convenience rather than loyalty. (If you're looking for the best airline for free upgrades or point redemptions, this isn't the article for you).
As someone whose job often involves flying on airlines and comparing them, I recently pit the Big 3 against each other by flying each on the same ticket type, on similar routes, and all within a reasonable timeframe.
What I found won't change how I approach booking flights because the experiences on each airline were similar enough overall, but I can imagine the small comfort and service differences could sway other travelers.
