Absolutely the worst airline we have ever flown, primarily due to the extremely poor customer
service. Delayed in Cancun for 3 hours so we missed our flight to Vancouver. Next am back at
the airport we were told they had no record of us flying with them even though the agent was
holding our new boarding passes that were issued by the airline the night before. Agent wanted
to know if we could prove we were in Mexico by showing the baggage tags that we of course
threw away since we had to re-check everything again. The icing on the cake was to hear the
ticket agent nastily say she couldn't just wave a magic wand to make things happen! I can't
believe that any airline employee would be so rude and display such uncaring behaviour. This
is our first negative airline review and the last time we fly or recommend US Airways. (Our
other comments about this airline without going into lengthy detail would touch on the
ashtrays on the arms of the seats, the constant promoting of free airline miles if you signed
up for their credit card over the pa as well as the frowns worn by a fairly large percentage
of the flight attendants on three flights).

First class SFO to CLT. No pre-take-off beverage. No movie. No snack basket. Meal was good
(Chinese Chicken Salad). Had to press attendant call button to get a second beverage after
meal service and had to flag down for a third in the five hour flight. Customer Service would
not rebate my miles spent to upgrade (15,000). Wife and I will not be flying US Airways
again.

Nothing but praise for our trip Gatwick to Charlotte and on to Savannah on A330. Check-in
very pleasant letting us know that the flight was less than half full and we were able to
stretch out for 9 hours. The food was very acceptable and cabin-crew friendly, and Captain
kept us well informed. The leather seats were comfortable, although one can always do with
more room. Plenty of films and in-flight entertainment to choose from, and the time went
quickly. Our internal flight was short, pleasant and on time. Our return flights were almost
as good, but fuller, so no stretching out. As pleasant an experience as any flight can be.
On arriving home I found I had left a cardigan in the overhead locker. I rang US Airways, who
answered promptly, I was put through to the lost property department, who were very helpful.

PHL-TLV, economy A330-200. Check in smooth, even with the extra layer of security. Service was
good, flight attendants friendly. On the return leg the video system failed.

London Heathrow-Philadelphia-La Guardia. We had a seriously bad experience on the
international leg. The toilets were dirty, my wife found chewing gum stuck to the seat-back
safety brochure, food was inedible and charges were levied for every extra including
beer/wine, headphones, etc. Worst from our point of view is that we are on Star Alliance
round the world tickets which state in writing that we have a baggage allowance of two pieces
per person (with weight limits obviously). However, despite having this in writing (and on
the phone from Air New Zealand from whom we booked the tickets) US Airways insisted on a hefty
surcharge for our "extra" bags. We were blackmailed into paying or not flying - at least Air
New Zealand have offered to go to bat for us later. However, between the poor service and the
greedy surcharges I will not willingly fly US Airways again and urge caution from anyone else
who may be lured by their supposedly lower prices.

PHX-CLT-FLL return. Upgraded to 1st on 3 legs. Boarded in PHX to cookies, bottle water,
pillow and blanket at each seat. Greeted with a genuine smile. Easy connection, and another
warm welcome on flight to FLL.

Did a couple of USAirways domestic flights this week. Both on time, and both unremarkable.
Cabin service friendly but sparse, just a soft drink (with an option of a $6 alcoholic drink).
Cant get to grips with the check in system. You check in on line, you pay per bag $15 per bag,
but then still have to go through the whole thing at the airport again, even printing your own
baggage tag, and then waiting for someone to come over and stick it on your baggage. All very
confusing. Nothing to write home about - a very good fare though so you get what you pay for.

MAN-PHL-Fort Myers. Typical US airways flight, clean cabin, terrible food, nothing offered in
between - US airways have got to improve their cabin services. I have had better service on
budget airlines.

Rome-Philadelphia in Business (Envoy). I was pleasantly surprised at how good this was. The
food was outstanding and service gracious. The older non-lie flat seat was as good as others
and better than Lufthansa non lie flat seat. IFE offered a decent selection of on demand
movies or tv shows. US Airways domestic first has received a lot of criticism, but my
transatlantic Envoy experience was very favorable.

Gatwick to Las Vegas via Charlotte. Staff polite and helpful, food typical airline food.
Complementary soft drinks, tea and coffee. If you wanted more during the flight you could go
to the galley. I did pay extra to be moved further up the plane. Gatwick to Charlotte took off
10 minutes late. Due to the clock going back etc. we arrived at 16.20 and our flight left for
LV at 18.10. Bit of hyperventilating that we would clear immigration and catch our connection
but we made it with time to spare. We knew we would have to pay for food on the Charlotte - LV
leg of the journey so were prepared. No in-flight entertainment was a disappointment. On the
return from Charlotte I felt sorry for the FAs because is was like a Disney Special. Overtired
children, crying, hungry. Only thing I can complain about is having to wait over an hour at
Gatwick for my luggage.

MAN-PHL An unremarkable flight. Cabin outdated, toilets dirty, food, apart from appetiser, was
poor. Staff ranged from helpful to surly and not much interaction - no-one in the cabin asking
if we needed anything between meals .We did arrive 30 minutes early.

Gatwick/Phoenix via Charlotte. First leg to Charlotte was rather cramped with very little leg
room due to boxes for TV under the seat. Second leg was better. Strange that there should be
more legroom on a four hour flight than on the nine hour one. Meals on flight to Charlotte
were palatable and staff friendly and helpful. Return flights were better with more leg room
due I expect to being in a different part of the aircraft. Would fly with US Airways again.

Manchester to LA via Philadelphia. They try by any means get more money out of you (charging
for pre-assigned seating, domestic luggage fees charged at the counter, $5 for a set of cheap
disposable headsets etc). Most FAs are professional but disinterested - on one leg, the FA in
charge of the food trolley pushed it down the aisle whispering 'snacks' because he couldn't be
bothered with the inconvenience of anyone wanting to buy anything, so nobody did, and then he
disappeared for the rest of the flight. On the other hand, $7 for the pastrami sandwich isn't
too bad and if you can get your hands on one they're really nice, all soft drinks were
complimentary, flights were on time and I got what I expected.

IAH-PHL-BOS flight says you stay on the plane -- you never do. There's always an "unscheduled
crew change" so you have to sprint from one terminal to the other. I'm Silver Preferred, but
only get the first-class ugrades less than half the time. Coach in US Air is a trial - at
least as Silver Preferred I can board early and stand a chance of getting my carry-ons in the
overheads. Otherwise, you end up gate-checking, and since I often carry multiple laptops, this
can be very difficult for me. I've since switched to BOS-CLT-IAH, and it's better.
