America West

Pros: If you want to pay 80 bucks to get psychologically abused, sure..
Cons: delays, attitude problems, a can of soft drink slammed on my table..and many more!

When I used to go to school in Tucson AZ, I would go on trips during spring/ summer recess. Since I was a student and money was tight, what I'd do was to call up a bunch of agencies and try to get the cheapest tickets possible. I'd use Reno Air,...

Pros: It Was The Least Expensive Flight, Non-Stop
Cons: Poor Customer Service, Late, Dirty, Rude In-Flight Service, 1 Operable Lavatory

OK

It was so bad I don't even want to write about it in detail.

1. I expect to be boarded when the plan is ready to leave, call me crazy. What I don't expect is to be seated, then fried on a Phoenix runway while big, hairy, sweaty...

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: umm... there was that... oh wait NONE!
Cons: Constant delays, bad food, bad service, impolite flight attendants, uncomfortable planes, the TV near my seat didnt work, oh and did I mention delays.

America West is the worst airline ever. My scout troop and I saved for 2 years to visit the Florida Sea Base in Key West, Fla. We were going to take thier Bahamas Adventure tour, 7 days of sailing in the Bahamas. In order to let as many kids go as...

Pros: Round trip with connections, and all were perfect!
Cons: None ... really!

I bought my America West ticket because it was the best price for the dates and route I wanted to travel but I sure was worried when I read the negative opinions on this site.
Granted, maybe I was expecting the worst, but I decided to write in with...

Pros: zip
Cons: the rest of it

One aspect of travel that I would like to rest assured in assuming I can take as a "given" is the notion that making a reservation on a specific day will in fact guarantee my traveling on said day. Until a recent experience which proved to be...

Pros: cheap
Cons: rude people, late, crowded

We flew America West to Las Vegas in late November, for a convention. We flew because that's who my travel agency booked us on, because my company insists on the lowest fare. So, we flew from Baltimore direct to Las Vegas, on America West, two days after...

Pros: expanded service area
Cons: questionable reliability

I have taken America West Airlines for business travel on several occasions and a majority of the flight have had problems, especially with delays (which were avoidable if planned properly). An example is when I had a connection from San Diego to...

Pros: A Nightmare in Flight!
Cons: Hhhmmm.....everything??

I flew America West twice. After the terrible experience the first time, you would have thought I'd learned my lesson! I booked NON stop flights each way, purchased 6 tickets, including one for my infant daughter. When booking the flights, the...

Pros: Good deals
Cons: Late, horrible food

I flew America West to Las Vegas, Nevada during the summer. First, the flight left late, they made no real effort to make sure we were comfortable. Then (for the over 4 hour flight), they tell us they had a problem with the food distributor, and hand...

Pros: cheap
Cons: poor service, rude flight staff

I just got back from a vacation in Las Vegas, it was my first time out there and it was a terrific trip all around, except for one thing, the flight on America West. I flew out of Newark on Monday morning. The moment my family walked into the terminal...

Pros: lots of available flights
Cons: never get off the ground on time, if ever

Now I've flown on most of the major airlines, and I've actually had airlines cancel flights on me before, but never in the 30 years I've been flying has an airline told me they were canceling a flight because one of the stewardesses became ill! Yes,...

Pros: luggage got to destination without a problem
Cons: horrible flight attendants, bad attitude

I just flew America West airlines from my home state of Michigan to Arizona this past week. Talk about horror stories...this one took the cake.

My ordeal began when my 2 sons (age 3 and 5 1/2) and I arrived at the gate in Michigan...I...

Pros: Small airline, friendly good service
Cons: Limited flights outside the West Coast

This airline often comes up with the lowest fares out of Southern California when I book online. I flew on America West the first time 2 years ago and have flown them several times since. After 2 years they continue to offer great prices on airfare and...

Pros: Easier First Class Upgrades
Cons: Consistently overbooked flights

I have flown AWA as a Flight Fund Elite Member for over 4 years now and travel weekly on this carrier. Over the years I have learned how to protect myself from delayed flights, overbookings and waiting in long lines. There are definite advantages and...
