America West

Pros: Price, comfortable coach seats, good weather hubs (PHX and LAS)
Cons: Flight cancellations, snack sack

I've been an America West frequent flyer since 1986 and Elite member since '91. Yea, they've had too many flight cancellations lately but so has many of the other major airlines. I guess the main 3 reasons I continue to fly them (30K to 40K annually)...

Pros: Good prices; adequate service; no crashes
Cons: Nothing that makes it stand out

America West is not the fanciest airlines in the world. But, in general, America West offers decent prices with adequate service.

One problem with America West is that it has hubs in Phoenix and Las Vegas, two airports which have way too much...

Pros: Low Fares on where I was going
Cons: $5 headset rental charge

I recently flew America West for the first time on a round trip from Newark to San Diego via America West's hub in Phoenix. From reading all of the negative reviews & horror stories of America West, I started to regret my decision to fly America West...

Pros: Competetive prices, easy to navigate web site
Cons: cancellation flights, some employees are rude

With hubs in Las Vegas, Phoenix and Columbus this airline has a hard time competing with other airlines. Their main emphasis is price. Going from Seattle to LA for $180 RT is a good deal to me. If you go to Vegas you'll see that America West offers...

Pros: Flights leave on time
Cons: The Staff

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...

Pros: Price and schedule
Cons: old, smelly, crowded and seems the seats are smaller.

We chose to fly on America West during our last trip from Orlando to Las Vegas. Why? Well they have a non-stop flight as instead of connections and they fly red eye service both in and out of Vegas.

There isn't any food service. They snack...

Pros: Inexpensive
Cons: Never on time!

While planning the vacation that my husband and I recently returned from, I went through Travelscape.com. Travelscape brings up airfares for all airlines on the dates you are requesting, and lists prices for comparison.

I am not a...

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

America West, to the West Coast America West [HP] Flight # 29 PHX-LAX One Way Air Fare: N/A. Flight Interruption Manifest Ticket (estimated: $50) Airport of Departure: Phoenix Sky Harbor Int’l (K-PHX) Departure Time: ...

Pros: Cheap! New planes. Convenient hubs if you are in the west.
Cons: Zero communication skills. Frequent delays.

Having just read all these America West comments, I HAD to write one of
my own. (I flew 100,000 miles on them in 1999 and 50,000 on American)

First: All of you who complain that the plane is packed: Quit
whining. It is packed because...

Pros: Price
Cons: Long lines, food, hub locations

I've flown on America West a couple of times now, and the best that I can say about them is that their prices can't be beat. The last time was roundtrip from Detroit to Portland, with a stopover in Phoenix. Not exactly the most direct route, to say the...

Pros: Cheap flight, good service and got me where I wanted to go.
Cons: No food service, no individual TVs

We recently flew to Las Vegas from Newark, NJ last week on America West. Check in was easy.

Seating was as cramped as any other plan in my opinion, yet you do need to seek out your own pillow and blanket and sometimes they go quickly so horde...

Pros: airfare specials
Cons: delays

I've been flying America West on a monthly basis since November 1999. I chose them because they had fantastic airfare from Detroit to Ontario, CA, Burbank, Orange County, and LAX. By booking online and having a flexible schedule I was able to get...

Pros: Direct flights
Cons: Lack of service, especially in FC

Given all the horror stories I have read. I was somewhat hesitant about my flight on HP from YVR to PHO. I should preface this with the fact that I live in Canada and no matter how bad the AC/CP merger is. The level of service on Canadian carriers is far...

Pros: Good customer service, great prices.
Cons: Lousy "snack" and some planes have cramped seating.

This morning I just came back from a very well needed vacation. Work has been tremendously difficult this spring and Summer, and I’ve been very close to burning out. The best means of getting rid of all this stress was to take a vacation.

I...

Pros: an average flight and cheap price
Cons: very very rude flight attendants

I recently took a trip to Las Vegas using America West. It was not a good trip. I didn't have the problems many people have with flight delays, cancellations, etc. I just didn't have a very good trip.
I took America West because it was...
