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.

Manchester-Philadelphia-Las Vegas. Outward delayed by 4 hours due to snow in US and the flight
arriving late to Manchester. This produced a mad scrum at check in as this is a feeder route
and many people are travelling onward from Philly. The check in staff struggled as they kept
going up and down the line asking people for their final destination and asking them to go to
the front of the line. Flight out was okay - FA were quite friendly and attentive - plenty of
cold drinks and tea and coffee served through out the flight, meals ok. Delayed at Philly
again waiting for connection to Las Vegas - flight was very full and was a terrible flight -
pillows and blankets were placed on the seats but had been taken by passengers to board first
- requests later were met by we dont have anymore - yes, mae but the guy next to me has three?
Return flight to Manchester was terrible - FA didn't seem to want to be on the flight.

I could cut and paste any of the Gatwick-Charlotte-Gatwick comments posted before instead of
rewriting my own. US Airways must have realised that the Gatwick/Charlotte flight has no
competition because they really do not try at all! Food on an 8hr flight is a basic meal and a
very poor snack. I have already commented elsewhere about the seats, the films are dire and
the same on both flights - cabin staff were so distracted that we were given a time check for
Frankfurt not London, and as for the attendant call buttons going of at random all through the
flight and when someone complained they were told "not our problem". Tip for meals, when you
book look at the special diets menu and choose one of those they are somewhat better than the
"Pasta or Chicken" selection that seems to be the only option.

PHX-LAS return, upgraded to 1st both directions. Both flights on time with friendly welcome,
pre-flight drinks and full attention. Out bound plane seemed older and tattered a little. Good
experience overall.

They are charging $20 for "choice" middle seats. I didn't realize middle seats were desired &
worth paying for. And with the baggage fees if we paid for seats & bags it is over $100
extra/pp roundtrip. The ticket wasn't cheap to begin with.

Orlando to Seattle via Phoenix, Arizona. For such a long flight, there was no inflight
entertainment, glad that I brought my iPod and PSPwith me, otherwise, it would have been a
painfully boring flight. No meals served free but free non-alcoholic bevs were served in
bigger cups so that's fine. I noticed in most US airlines, the crew tends to be chatty but
they lacked warmth and sincerity. I just don't know why they are like that.

My husband and I flew from London Gatwick to Las Vegas via Charlotte. We were flying out to
get married and it was an awful start to our wedding and honeymoon. The staff at check in were
polite and helped up to get a window seat, but the staff on the plane were horrible. The
televisions wouldn't work and staff either walked off when we tried to ask them to fix them or
one woman grabbed the remote out of my husbands hand and then started jabbing the buttons and
talking to us like we were simple. The flights Charlotte to Las Vegas and back were pleasant
enough. The return journey Charlotte to London was horrendous. Almost all of the staff were
extremely rude. The conditions are unbearably cramped. I am 5'4 and 110 pounds and I had
barely enough room for my arms and legs. I can only imagine how agonizing it would be for a
full size gentleman to sit in that tiny space for nine hours. Do not fly with them.

MUC-LGA (via PHL), DCA-TPA,MIA-MUC (via PHL). US Airways was better than expected. Served with
non alcoholic drinks, complimentary food for long haul flight. Airplanes not the newest, but
clean and acceptable. Inflight Entertainment could be improved.

BHX-PHL-LAS return. Fares were considerably cheaper than others so we took the risk. We were
pleasantly surprised. All flights were early or on time, food was okay, flight attendants
friendly and leg room acceptable. We knew they charge for head phones so took our own. We
would certainly use US Airways again.

MAN-PHL-BNA return. All flights were ontime and service was good. I must give praise to the
cabin crew on our return flight from PHL to MAN - a serious medical emergency on board and
cabin crew went about their job in a professional manner. The only thing we were disappointed
with was the amount of legroom on the A333. We were sat in the middle rows and under the seat
in front was the equipment for the IFE system, reducing our legroom. I noticed that the seats
by the windows did not have this obstruction, so these are the seats to go for. Overall, a
very pleasant experience.

Charlotte to PHX delayed by about 30 minutes. No big deal, however the connecting flight to
San Jose was moved from gate A to Gate B. This is quite a distance at the PHX airport. The
connecting flight did not wait for the connecting passengers. It was 12 hours until the next
flight. I will avoid US Airways from now on and also avoid PHX airport.

BHM to CLT and CDG. For unexplained reasons our US Airways Express lead flight was delayed,
resulting in a mad dash through Charlotte to make our transatlantic flight. We arrived at the
Charlotte gate with ten minutes to spare - I did not have the gumption to ask if they would
have held the flight for us, given that they was no other way to Paris that night. It was a
tired, old 767-200, with no in-screen video. They charged $5 for ear buds, which I passed on,
and instead went to sleep. Crew impersonal and seemed bored.

LAS to BOS, clean and roomy aircraft, pleasant and professional crew, drinks rounds, crew
worked hard and crew was well groomed by American standards. Safety briefings and were clear
and professional - great value for money.

Arkansas to Cancun through Charlotte. Seats comfortable and crew was pleasant. Return flight
was worse. On time back in to CHT but flight back to XNA delayed. One hour, then 2 hours,
then they found a plane to "replace the one that wasn't coming but would be another hour
before a crew arrived." After a 3 hour layover and then 3.5 hour delay we took off, only to
emergency land in Knoxville after a fuel leak was detected. Firetrucks met us on the tarmac
as they advised us to stay belted in our seats and then finally unloaded us a safe distance
from the airport. The airport was small and closed but had also shut down bathrooms and air
conditioning for maintenance. Sometime around midnight flight was cancelled and we were
handed business cards with US Airways 800 number to call and rebook. Shuttled to a nearby
hotel for 3 hours sleep to return and board plane at 7:15 back to Charlotte. Weather was
spotty in CHT and delayed us by 1/2 hour on the morning flight. I switched my ticket to
Little Rock in order to make a prior engagement in time - my luggage was supposed to be at XNA
with my husband when he landed. It wasn't. I rate this airline a 6 because the
representatives did everything to help us out. They were polite, even the operator on the
phone at midnight was very accomodating and helpful. The airline even delivered my missing bag
the next day to my rural home. My husband entered a complaint on their website and they
responded within hours with (2) $150 vouchers.

Glasgow to Philadelphia First Class delayed 4 hours. Missed connection to SFO but provided
tickets for flight leaving at 1800 - no seat assignments. Upon arrival at gate I asked about
seat assignments told that "Flight was overbooked now, you are standby and to stand aside
while ticketed passengers could board." Finally, after the gate was cleared we were called
but only for one in party of two and the agent said "You have 20 seconds to decide which one
of you is going?" I declined allowing another standby to go. We were called again and this
time the tickets were taken and we were told, "Find any available seat." US Airways is truly a
no frills airline experience. No Movie presentation as equipment has been removed during the
gas crunch with no plans to reinstate the service. Bulkheads appear to be worn from people's
feet and meal tray was broken and sat on my lap. Very disappointed with the service and
attitude of employees both on the ground and the FA's.

LGW-CLT-LAS out, SFO-CLT-LGW on return. The seats on the A333 international section are very
uncomfortable - seats on A320/A321 on the domestic legs were a lot more comfortable. The
entertainment on A333 was very basic compared to other airlines. The cabin crew were good but
must be coming up to retirement soon - all looked late 50's in age.

Glasgow to Las Vegas via Philadelphia and flights were fine. The only problem we had was not
being allocated seats together on the Glasgow to Philadelphia flight even though we checked in
early. All flights were on time, food was OK and legroom was excellent. For the price we paid
it was great value and will fly with US Airways again.
