Anyone flown with us airways recently?

[karentan]

So far us airways is coming out cheaper, flying via Charlotte.
We flew cosmos earlier in the year and DH hated it, said the seats were too narrow and he was uncomfortable all the way.
We've flown delta a few years ago, is us airways comparable in seat comfiness and width? Do they have seat back TVs in economy?
Thanks
Karen

US Airways seems to discontinue most of their TATL through Charlotte. They go through PHL instead.

you need to be more specific in your request, such as departure airport and approximative date,
if you have a flight number, all the better.

US Airways generally flies A330s for the TATL leg and A320 for the PHL-MCO leg
to compare you need to know what type of plane you flew in with Cosmos and DL

Seatback TVs are avalaible on economy on A330s free of charge, but the domestic part is not free if you wish to use the IFE

It's the transatlantic part I'm concerned about, the website says its an airbus a330-300. Departure 7th sept, it's lgw-Charlotte-Norfolk VA

editing as i just saw your post

that aircraft has seat back TVs

here's the description on seatguru:

by the way, my mom likes US Airways a lot (in the air, not on the ground) - but she flies in their business class...

A330s do have seatback TVs

You need to know that most US Airways planes use 2 prongs jack heaphone plugs.
You need an adapter to use your own headphones
Otherwise you'll need to purchase earphones on the plane (they are not free like they are on other carriers)

Thanks for the heads up about the headphone jack, I'll be sure to order one from eBay
Was just looking for reviews from anyone who's flown with them recently. Seems the seat width is half an inch less than delta, and 3/4 inch wider than monarch, doesn't sound like much to me?

the width is not as important as the pitch, which is an indicator of the distance between the rows.
what is the pitch on delta, monarch and US Air?

The pitches are all pretty much similar, but his major complaint about monarch was the width, he's got quite broad shoulders

all economy seats are pretty narrow - at least they seem so to me..
