We fly out with US Airways in March, reports in the past have not been the best, be interesting to know how you rated recent flights with them?

Hi Mick

Have used US Airways twice in the past and had know problems at all. Our flights were not direct as we had a connection flight via Philadelphia. But everything was sound. Food up to normal airline standards, Cabin crew excellent.

Wouldn't hesitate to use them in the future even if its just to try and keep the Flight costs down.

We flew with them 18 month ago and would use them again. The food was average but the service we got from the staff was first class. They have one of the best entertainments systems i have come across as its real time. You can choose what you want to watch when you want to watch it and can pause it.

I have not flown with US Airways but have always heard very positive things about them.

A friend used them at Christmas Manchester - Orlando via Phili and said they were fab and they got upgraded to First![clap][clap]

Flew with these for the first time in December last year via Philly. They were really good. The only thing that I am a bit unsure of, is they do not have baby lap seat belts.Every other airline we have flown with has a seatbelt for infants that you slip on to your own and US do not have these and we were told not to put the seat belt around ourselves then the little one. The air steward seemed a bit fazed when I asked for a lap belt on the trip home and just said they did not use them as they were not too good. We had used his carseat from Manchester to Philly but he was really grummpy and he will not sleep in his carseat so from Philly to Orlando we went back to him being on my knee for take off. In saying that they were really good and very helpfull when he decided to vomit his bottle all over our seats. Would use them again with no qualms just going to have to get little one used to sleeping in his carseat!!

Julie any other Airlines you know of who do not use the child lap belt?

Oh and THE BEST CUP OF TEA I have had on any flight, plus the stewardeses were quite happy to make a one for anyone throughout the flight.

Norma.

Unfortunately I don't think that will happen to me as my husband and I will have our three children with us! Although they have all flown so many times now they are really good travellers....maybe if we were offered just one upgrade I could go, and my husband could look after the children in the back [msnsmile2] [msnwink]

Nearly finished my packing now. It takes me quite a while as I always share things out amoungst the cases just in case one goes missing, that way we will still all have something to wear. Does anyone else do this or is it just me??

Great entertainment system as well as you can pause it and rewind it.......no need to wait until the end of the film before you go to the loo[msnwink]

What I also like is the inflight video of your Arrival Airport (ie in our case Philadelphia). Great source of knowledge to know where you need to head for for your connection flight. Nice one US Airways
