America West

Pros: Cheap prices (sometimes)
Cons: Delays and very poor customer service

I have flown several times over the course of my life with several different airlines. I have found one airline to be the worst (by far) over years. That airline is America West. Every single time I fly with them, there is some sort of a problem. Whether...

Pros: I arrived to and from the destination in one piece.
Cons: 5 days worth of clothing & necessities gone.

I needed to go to Las Vegas from NYC for a meeting with a very important client, so I chose America West (Worst) Airlines as the price was good and the flight times were great. Well since I work in the Travel Industry, I should have realized that good ...

Pros: Consistent reasonable pricing, One of the few who doesn't follow regional price-fixing
Cons: Poor service in the past

My experiences with America West can be separated into the year 2000 (when I swore them off) and 2003 and later... 2000 In the 2000-2001 timeframe, my travel was mainly between Phoenix and San Jose. It was a wild time for San Jose, which ...

Pros: Wow! A flight to hell for the LOW PRICE of $1100.00!
Cons: The fact that they are still in business with such disorganization and horrid customer service

I've flown most of the major carriers in recent years, as my job requires travel to various locations across the globe. However, I have never had an experience worth writing about until now. At the end of August, my company sent me to do some work ...

Pros: Great flight attendants... Content w/ service on one hour flight.
Cons: Terrible efficiency at gate with Gate Agents!!!

Pros: Did not experience long lines at check in. Had a safe flight.
Cons: Not enough leg room, not enough snack.

Was leaving BWI, heading for LasVegas for a family gathering and convention, flying America West Airlines. Checked in with no trouble. The lady at the counter was nice, talkative and informative answering all my questions. Tickets were all in order...

Pros: Direct flight to Hawaii, Hub in Phoenix
Cons: Ageing aircraft, Poor Ventilation, Bad Baggage Handlers

My wife and I took a trip to Hawaii to celebrate our honeymoon that we did not have seven years prior. I booked a trip through an online travel agency and was given the choice of other airline, but I chose America West/US Air as it is our “hometown ...

Pros: Decent flight prices
Cons: rude staff

I just recently got home from Las Vegas. Believe it or not, being 32 almost 33 years old, this was my very first time flying. I was excited about the trip and since I had never flown before I decided to get to the airport 2 hours early, to allow myself...

Pros: It didn't crash
Cons: Interminable delays, Is consistently delayed, Usual bad food, Cramped coach quarters, Personnel don't tell you why planes are delayed or how long it will be

Living in Phoenix, I have had the opportunity to fly America West Airlines numerous times since we are one of their major hubs. Currently, I do all I can to use another airline whenever possible. We don’t nickname this airline “America Worst” without...

Pros: super cheap, efficient, clean, comfortable coach seats
Cons: none--would like more flights from LaGuardia, I suppose

Call me the cranky traveler. If there's something to whine about on my flight, you can bet the airline will hear about it. It's not that I want something in exchange for my angst (although sometimes that's appropriate). I just want someone big and...

Pros: Price and flight attendants
Cons: DELAYS, poor customer service

Wow I can confidently say that the first time I took America West will certainly be the last. I scoured the internet looking for a good package for a weekend to Las Vegas. Being a student means we don't have a lot of money so when I found an excellent...

Pros: Clean airplane, decent in-flight service.
Cons: Ridiculous overbooking, lousy customer service, cheap compensation.

Sometimes you try something new, sometimes you pay the price. Normally, I take American out of Long Beach when I visit my folks in Oklahoma City. Long Beach Airport is small (the terminals are not much more than trailers and you have to walk outside ...

Pros: Great fares, nice fairly new aircraft
Cons: They have a habit of losing children, but that may be a "pro"

Back in early spring I made reservations for my boyfriend and myself for Las Vegas. America West had the best price and pretty good connections – we had to change planes at Phoenix, but the return flight was non-stop Las Vegas to Indianapolis.
...

Pros: um...
Cons: late take-offs, cancellations with very little notice

I know, I was asking for trouble. If you read my other epinion on America West, you'll know I've had nothing but problems with this airline. But they're the only ones that have options of travel times when flying out of Phoenix. I even could get a...

Pros: Comfortable Seating, Average Meals, Nice FA's
Cons: Timeliness, Constant Aircraft Downgrading
