sparky-elpaso Posted February 4, 2013 #26 Share Posted February 4, 2013 Good information, except you definitely did *not* fly US Airways to Australia. Was it a codeshare on a United aircraft? US Airways doesn't have anything in their fleet capable of flying between the West Coast and Oz...they would have a Captain Sully incident into the Pacific if they tried ! :D Duh - you're right. :) They both start with "U" - does that count?

Globaliser Posted February 6, 2013 #27 Share Posted February 6, 2013 Refer to seatguru.com for the best seats you can chose and the entertainment and food options for the planes on that route. seatguru is run by the same company as this website, and it's really handy. Unfortunately, for many airlines it's becoming increasingly out of date and unreliable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cshgrand Posted February 6, 2013 #29 Share Posted February 6, 2013 We've just flown with Us airways from Manchester to San Juan via Philadelphia. Last year we flew Virgin. We thought Us were good although we had read poor reviews. Seat pitch was bigger than virgin and therefore more comfortable. Food usual airline fare although we had to pay for it on the Philadelphia to San Juan leg. In flight entertainment trans Atlantic good but nothing available on the other flight.We would definitely US airways again but not this route to the Caribbean. We are looking to maybe book Heathrow to San Juan via Philadelphia with them for December as it seems very well priced. Can I ask why you wouldn't use this route again and what would be your preference next time? It would save us about £600 over cruise company's flights.

Globaliser Posted February 6, 2013 #30 Share Posted February 6, 2013 Have you visited seatguru.com lately? Completely overhauled.I hadn't seen the new interface, but I notice that looking at the information for the airline I know best (BA), there's still a substantial number of aircraft configurations completely missing. I think this situation hasn't changed from the old interface. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare VMax1700 Posted February 8, 2013 #34 Share Posted February 8, 2013 Hi Daisydoo, We are flying US Air next month (march) from Dublin to Fort Lauderdale (via Phillie) so I will let you know what it is like. I understand that there are no seat back TV screens from Dub to FLL as its on an older 767, but I have my tablet to keep me occupied. Let you know by end of March, if you can hold out on buying the tickets till then :eek: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kenish Posted February 9, 2013 #35 Share Posted February 9, 2013 Have you visited seatguru.com lately? Completely overhauled. And still wrong for AA and getting wrong-er every day as Main Cabin Extra is installed. But the new look of Seatguru is nice, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare VMax1700 Posted March 19, 2013 #37 Share Posted March 19, 2013 Ok, flew US Airways to FLL last week and returned this week. a tale of two flights....:eek: Outwards (Dub - FLL) was fine. departed a bit late because of a small mishap by an executive jet in Dublin, but almost made the time up by PHL even though we had to 'splash and dash' in Bangor, Maine. Earphones were distributed free and wine and beer was also free. Return: uggggh. night time flight had cabin lighting trouble. No overhead reading lights and after the 'dinner' service they just turned off the lights:eek: Food was vile. head sets and wine, beer was payment by credit card!
