America West

Pros: Great attitudes by all staff I've encountered; pretty low ticket prices; excellent frequent flyer program
Cons: Flights are usually pretty full; not a HUGE variety with destinations; inconsistent aircrafts

When it comes to traveling, I am a firm believer that the oldest is the best. This is in any respect: rental car companies, tour operators, hotels, and, most of all, airlines. You may disagree with me, which is fine, but I hold fast to my beliefs. ...

Pros: Courteous staff, more leg room

We flew America West from San Francisco to Ft. Lauderdale on the two busiest days of the year, the Wednesday before and Sunday after Thanksgiving. I have to say, it was one of the better experiences I've had.

I "belong" to three separate Frequent Flyer programs. I fly five or six times a year and with a daughter going to school in the east, we utilize frequent flyer miles often.
America West does have one advantage over several other programs....

Pros: Frequent Flier Program, Low Fares
Cons: Some Delays, Inadequate Schedule

Living in Phoenix, I have flown over 100 flights on America West in the past year, and have yet to have the sort of disaster that I often read about. I have had delayed flights, as well as a few cancelled flights, but I have had the same on every...

Pros: reliable, affordable
Cons: you fly in and out of airports

Well, unlike everybody else here @ Epinions, I've had pretty good experiences with America West. Then again, I *despise* Southwest and they got rave reviews. Go figure. Anyway, as I say, I like America West. They go most of the places I want to go,...

Pros: great ticket agents, reasonable fares
Cons: some of the other passengers

I have flown America West almost exclusively since moving to the midwest. All of my flights have been acceptable or better. My last two flights from Indianapolis to the west coast have been great. The ticket agents in Indy have been courteous and...

The flight to Phoenix left on time, and...

Pros: Low Price, Friendly staff

I was on vacation last week, and flew America West. This was my second time flying America West, as I had flown on them last May.

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...

This is a very helpful site. It is simple to work out what flights are available, and the pricing information is complete--and the Web specials are good! The final ticketing process is straightforward, and the receipt is easy to read. The only complaint...
