US Airways

You are looking to fly-cross country and see a direct flight that stops midway.  The layover is only about 45 minutes, you get to stay on the plane, and you know you won’t miss your connection.  Perfect, right? Not necessarily.  Direct flights can negatively affect your attempts to get elite …

New Girl in the Air posted a new US Airways mileage special that’s perfect for people (like me) living in a shuttle location. Between November 1, 2012 and January 31, 2013, earn 6,000 miles for 3 shuttle flights, and 12,000 more for 6 shuttle flights.  These miles are not elite …

If you were considering making the switch to US Airways from another carrier, there’s a great deal on a US Airways Club Membership.  Right now, when you purchase a US Airways Club Membership, you get a silver preferred trial for free.  That is a savings of $200.  (promotion code CLBTR). …

So far, US Airways 30 Days for DC special has netted Keri and I a day at the beach and a cross country trip.  All for the low price (TOTAL) of $190 each.  Holy cow! I’ve been on top of these deals.  Sometimes even predicting what the deal will be …

US Airways’ 30 Days for DC has had some surprises for some lucky people. And thanks to it, Keri and I are spending the day at the beach in the South for the same price it would cost us to bus to the nearby Rehoboth Beach. For someone who flies …
