Easily the worst experience I've had. No in fight entertainment of any kind despite a 3 hour
flight. I had 2 canceled flights. Waited on hold for an hour only to be disconnected by an
operator. Waited another half an hour only to be told the person could help me and I would
need to see someone in person at the airport. Baggage was delayed 5 days despite the person
at the US airways counter assuring me there would be no problem. Will not fly US Airways
again.

MCO-PHL, PHL-MUC. Complete disaster. First grounded for over 3 hours in Orlando with no food
and drinks served in the plane. Arriving too late in PHL and connection to MUC was gone.
Incompetent ground staff in PHL service center who is not anticipating your needs and problem
and just issuing another boarding pass for next day. Where to stay overnight? - there is a
Quality Hotel and US Airways is giving a voucher for 80 USD. Found the same hotel in internet
for 59 USD - so what is the meaning of this voucher? Travelling next day to MUC (new airplane
A330) with flight attendants who do their job - but just the job. No baggage in MUC. Trying to
track my baggage since then. Help line is not working. Website - neither.

MAN-PHL in Envoy. Plane was their only one with new business seat - it is superb. 1-2-1 layout
with 20 seats in the cabin and very comfortable in seat and full flat positions. Large video
screen and plenty of storage and flat space. Flight attendants very attentive - I think they
were enjoying the new surroundings as much as the passengers. It is a pity it will take them
so long to retrofit all their aircraft. Also this is such an inconsistent airline in terms of
service level as can be seen from my post last week.

Absolute incompetence reigns at USAirways. We never even got on our flight out of SFO. We
were at the airport 1.5 hours before departure, in line at US Airways. At the 1-hour mark,
with about 3 people in front of us, the agent simply abandoned the line and left us to go to
the back of the other line, with about 150 people. We actually made it to the gate, but
they'd given our seats up and the door was closed. Maybe 20 other people were in the same
boat. After getting rolled over from standby to standby, 6 flights later the gate agent
admitted that we would simply never get on any flight, that they were not able to do anything.
US Airways personnel are great at denying responsibility and authority, but stink at the more
conventional measures of customer service. It was so pervasive that I assume that it's the
unofficial official company culture, straight from the top, simply to disrespect the customer.
I hope we get our luggage back some time.

This was the worst nightmare we could imagine. We were returning from vacation on December 18
and were delayed due to rain in Charlotte for 30 minutes. We had to obtain our checked baggage
which we paid to have checked, move to another counter to be checked back in for the
connecting flight. Because of congestion and mass misinformation for several plane loads of
people, we missed our connection and there were no more that night. We ended up taking a
flight to Philly in hopes of making a connection to Mtl Saturday morning. We spent a very
uncomfortable night in the airport to get on an early flight which was loaded then canceled.
We then went through a steady cycle of getting tickets, delays, & cancellations due to weather
conditions and there actually were no planes there! We spent hundreds of dollars on hotels,
food and misc items to get by because our baggage was checked and we couldn't get at it We
finally managed to get a flight on Monday afternoon, 3 days after our original date and
without our luggage. It was delivered a day later and one of the cases was completely soaked.
Definitely a negative ending to our vacation and we will never fly with this airline ever.

London to PHL and then a connection to Punta Cana. Worst flight experience of my life.
Diverted to Charlotte NC due to bad weather at PHL. Missed my connection and US Airways staff
offered no help whatsoever. Staff were quite rude and unprofessional. Abandoned in Charlotte
NC for the night. Travelled with them 5 years ago and they lost my bag then. This is not a
professional airline. Avoid flying with them at all costs.

PHL-MAN. Another dreary Envoy experience. Lounge OKAY but only wine and beer on offer and a
few snack items. Boarding gate agent was the only employee anywhere who seemed to have energy
and a sense of doing something useful. Cabin tired, toilets grubby and only amenity is soap
and water, Seats incredibly uncomfortable, food forgettable and the crew for the most part
gave the impression of not caring whether the passengers lived or died, though they did seem
to cheer up after we arrived and the doors were opened. A positive is that we arrived on time.

This week I had a flight from Orlando to Washington DC and back. Both flights all seats full.
Seats uncomfortable and not large enough to handle overweight people from overflowing into my
seat. US Air removed music and tv from their planes so boring flights. Return flight was
late leaving due to everyone carrying on luggage (since US air rapes people with checked bag
fees) it took forever for everyone to stow their bags then they ran out of overhead room so
the flight attendants had to begin checking bags. Flight took off and the Captain announced
that they are hearing reports of turbulence ahead so no beverage service and we never
experienced turbulence so there was no reason not to serve drinks. Likely another tactic of
US air to save money by not offering drinks. It would have been worth the additional $60 RT
to fly Jetblue and next time I will.

Just arrived in London having flown First/Envoy from Denver via Charlotte. Easily the worst
flights since I had the misfortune to fly on Varig. US Airways should get the same treatment
from Star Alliance that Varig got, unless they can retire their geriatric/disinterested flight
crew, provide edible food and get their IFE to work, which didn't for the whole transatlantic sector.

LGW-CLT-DCA-PHL-MSP-PHL-LGA-CLT-LGW all economy. Flights were mostly uneventful and on time.
International flights had acceptable catering (except for measly breakfast to London). Full
cans of drinks given on most flights. Complicated bag checking rules - baggage fees apply on
domestic sectors even as part of an international ticket. I have a Star Alliance Silver card
absolving me of the baggage fee, but was using another card to get mileage. The staff at
Gatwick said this was fine. A very unpleasant and aggressive lady in Washington made it clear
that this was not ok, and that I had to change my mileage program. Checking in in Minneapolis
and New York yielded no similar issues. 10% of staff friendly and energetic, 60% just got on
with it, 30% sour, miserable and obviously couldn’t wait to clock off. I constantly got the
impression that customers were a nuisance/necessary evil and what would have otherwise been a
good day at work for most US Airways employees. Their new E-jet are comfy. A330 IFE not bad,
although missing the map feature.

PHX-PHL-MAD return. All segments 15-30 minutes arrived early. Planes clean and welcomed as
boarded. PHX-PHL, basic service. PHL-MAD and MAD-PHX, as comfortable as can be. Tight seats,
lucky to have the seat next to me open-would definitely not like to be next to anyone. There
is limited recline, actually think this is good. No one backing into your space! Meal over not
worth the trouble, meal back nice. Personal entertainment nice, OK selection of movies and TV
shows. PHL-PHX in 1st, nice experience. Attentive service and a very nice meal served.

Delays, delays, delays. I just returned from four US Airways flights and three of these were
delayed - two of these three delays which were for over an hour each. In total, I suffered
nearly three hours of delays in one day on four flights - three hours of just sitting on the
tarmac in the airplane with no air conditioning. The reason? Mechanical problems. Mechanical
problems on 3 out of 4 planes in one day!

Manchester to Philadelphia. Food the worst I have had on an airline. Pasta still frozen FA not
interested. Poor Service. Entertainment broke down. Seats very narrow and uncomfortable
Phillly to Vegas. Only food available to buy but ran out after serving 1/2 the aircraft so
everyone else was hungry on a 4.5 hour flight, Vegas to Philliy seats were comfy enough
service poor. Philadelphia to Manchester Entertainment broke down again - food dismal, seats
very confined. I cannot understand why the internal seats were so much better than
transatlantic flights. No way is this a three star airline.

CLT-LGW return last week. Leather seats on A330-300 to Gatwick were comfy and had an OK amount
of leg-room. Service cold and unfriendly (old, grumpy flight attendants should retire or be
fired, since they obviously dislike both passengers and work). IFE very good, with video on
demand. Food repulsive. US Airways cannot compete with the likes of BA, Lufthansa, Virgin
Atlantic or even Delta. If you want to be competitive, you have to look at the competition.
