US Airways

Over four weeks ago, my husband got his status packet for his Silver Preferred Status.  I eagerly awaited my packet for Chairman’s Preferred, but didn’t get anything for a few days.  When I finally phoned up US Airways, they just confirmed that mine wasn’t lost in the mail. Why would …

I received a comment from Jason on a post, tipping me off that he received a notice that this year’s companion certificate would be the last he will receive as a benefit of the card. I spoke to a US Airways World MasterCard representative to verify and she confirmed.  Current …

There is a travel advisory on the East Coast, which made my coworkers plan to move-up her flight more complicated (suddenly everyone was).  But I was trying to help her see if she can change her flight first online before going to the airport early. This is the US Airway’s …

I was on a transcontinental flight on United when the gate agent announced they were oversold.  My ears perked up.  I was disappointed when the amount of money they would give you to voluntarily take another flight was announced as $200. It is an easy way to make $200 but this …

I’ve run into this a few times with US Airways now and I realized a simple search after each flight on US Airways can save you from needless waiting. Your baggage does not necessarily fly on the same plane as you.  If you check in early and there’s room on …
