What?? No meal on a six hour flight?

Pros: Flights leave on time
Cons: The Staff
The Bottom Line: I doubt I will ever use this airline again. Stale snacks, warm beverages and aloof staff do not make for the beginnings of a GREAT vacation.

| Lynne-Marie's Full Review: America West |
The purpose of the trip was to attend a family reunion and then a much needed vacation.
Our trip was easy to book, I booked for myself, fiance and my brother on the same flight going but different returning. There were NO non stop trips from New York to San Diego so we had a stop over in Vegas which was our destination for the second leg of the trip.
The flight was ok but when we got to the gate, since it was an early flight, my brother asked the attendant if breakfast would be served-her response was a flat no. Thankfully I have watched too many movies in which the plane get lost in some obscure place and had packed some snacks and drinks to tide us over. Before the plane took off we had enough time to grab a quick breakfast.
The seats were ample even for someone a little overweight like myself, the ride was comfortable. We were able to sit together and the flight took off without any delays. The stop over in vegas was short we were let out of the plane...maybe fifteen minutes to a half hour. Again we took off without a hitch.
Our trips back, my brother did not go to Las Vegas and says his trip was great but once again no meal but since he had remembered he ate a meal and took a snack.
We went to Las Vegas, the plane left one time.
Our final flight home also left on time. This flight was the scariest, We were settled in our seats, just gotten the permission to remove our seatbelts and then the plane took a dive and the turbulence made for bumpy moments before the pilot regained control. For whatever reason my fiance and I remained calm, but people around us were screaming.
The weird thing was the pilot never said what happened or came over the intercom to reassure us that all was ok. When everything was calm again we asked the flight attendant what happened and all she said was there was turbulence and the pilot had it under control now.
Throughout all the flights, while the staff was not rude they were not friendly.
