Errrrrr, hmmmmmm, ahhhhhh, US Airways don't actually pay for overnight accomodation and expenses if you miss your connecting flight. At least they refused to with us from a flight a couple of years ago. Their customer service was, IMHO, terrible. Properly bad!

My experience with them up until that point was fine, so I drew the conclusion that they are great when everything goes right but they fall apart when something goes wrong. We've made a point of not flying with them ever since for that very reason.
