Pros: Cheap fairs, on time, decent customer service.
Cons: Filty! Trash everywhere! I felt like I was surrounded by bacteria!
The Bottom Line: Although ticket prices were very reasonable and I have never experienced any delays, they are a dump. There is trash everywhere!

| morgansimp's Full Review: America West |
America West flys out of our local airport, so I have flown with this airline a number of times.
The main reason I have ever selected America West is because they have reasonable ticket rates. I have been able to save as much as $100. Typically, I purchase my airline tickets online, so I am able to comparison shop and have found America West to be very inexpensive, have easy routes to my destinations and have good schedules. Yes, there is a catch...
You must be able to tolerate complete filth. Every airplane I have ever flown on with America West (not only out of my local airport) have been very dirty. I have never experienced delays so maybe that can excuse the fact that the airline personnel just doesn't clean up the airplane between flights. There is nothing worst that putting your hand in the magazine pocket at your seat to find a dirty kleenex or a magazine with the pages stuck together from a mixture of grape juice and baby crackers. Often times, I feel like I'm surrounded by bacteria. I literally want to sit in my seat and not touch a single thing until I can scrub my hands!
Although the America West airline personnel do not clean the airplanes between flights, the service is pretty decent. The staff is always very friendly and helpful; greeting each traveler upon stepping onto the airplane. The drink/snack service has always been on time and served in an efficient manner.
The flights I have been on have never experienced any problems and I cannot remember ever experiencing a rough ride or bumpy landing.
I was very impressed when I flew with America West over the Christmas holiday and my plane landed 10 minutes early. You see, with America West it's a "give and take." You have to be willing to handle filth in exchange for inexpensive ticket rates and decent schedules.
In general, I would only recommend America West for the brave sole with a shallow pocket. Happy travels!
