Comment on US Airways succeeds to umimpress me once again by Charlotte Area

Living here, I travel on few flights that aren’t US Airways. I don’t drink coffee and can’t speak to it, although I’ve even heard the staff say it’s not great. But at 6′, on US Airways I haven’t had my knees touching the seat in front of me, and they always give me the can with my glass without my asking. The charge for “Premium Seats” is new, but on the flights I’ve looked at it’s only on window and aisle seats on two rows and aisle seats on one other, not all seats on the front half of the aircraft.

That said, my other flights have been on American, and I’ve had the same experience on them as on US Airways. Nothing better or worse that I’ve noticed, comparing several years of 3.5-4.5 hour flights.

@Andrew and @Carl, thanks for sharing. I did not know of the LAX-AKL route. And yes, I have heard that UA is targeting IAH – AKL for it’s first 787. This was the plan b4 the merger. (UA never ordered any 787s, CO did).

@Cook, thanks for sharing. I like your thoughts and that of @Texan that US Airways is a regional airline or an LCC. They should market themselves as that. Will lower our expectations.

I fly US airways on occasion (west) and it’s mostly fine. I think your issue here is a combination of east vs. West, equipment (really my experience is mostly a321 with a smattering of crjs which are always bad), and judging things which are poor everywhere but you may dodge as an elite.

Texan: delta is putting WiFi on all rjs with first, including crj900s and crj700. Only the 50 wearers are not getting it. I’ve flown on multiple crj700s already WiFi equipped.

Delta does not use the erj190 so they are not putting WiFi on any. They fly erj170s and 175s which are getting WiFi.

SFO is/was pmUA’s intl gateway to Asia. Hope they will reinstate the SFO . – TPE route.
Also LAX – AKL was an old pmUA route which was stopped. Actually, pmUA owns a lot of air rights from both SFO & LAX, which they do not currently fly to. Such as SFO – nagoya and SFO – Guangzhou, and SFO – CDG.
