I've traveled with US Airways quite extensively (internationally and domestically), since they are the primary carrier in our airport here in Pittsburgh. (we used to be a US airways hub, until the cutbacks and we lost hub status) Their prices tend to be a bit higher than everyone else's, so its great that you found a good deal! I've never had any horror stories like some of the above posters have stated. They haven't lost my luggage yet, the planes are all fairly modern, and I've never had one of these planes with no earphone jacks or laptop ports?? With this being said, there are no entertaining flight attendants like on southwest, the food is normally paid only, and the seats are comfy (unlike airtran which is THE WORST). Also, we always ask to upgrade to first class every time we fly with them. Depending on how many hours your flight is, depends on the price of the upgrade, and this is of course subject to availability. If the flight isn't full in first class, the fee is anywhere between 25 and 100 dollars. This was SO worth it on a 6 hour flight to Aruba. So...instead of paying 1500 a person for a first class international ticket, we paid 100 dollars more than coach fare per person to have first class seats and amenities. Don't be scared to fly US Airways, its a very good airline, just don't expect all the extras that used to be free. They are all at a premium now, but this seems to be the trend with more and more airlines these days.
