America West

Pros: Very friendly and understanding flight attendants, low fares, open jaw itineraries
Cons: Delays, frazzled gate attendants

I'm having a hard time trying to decide whether or not to recommend America West Airlines. The majority of the flights have been from Baltimore to Phoenix (and back) with shorter flights to Tucson and Las Vegas thrown in for good measure.

...

Pros: For short flights, good service, great prices
Cons: Those things that affect the industry in general

We flew from Orlando to Phoenix about three years ago just before Christmas.

The worst part of our experience was trying to find a place to park our car in Orlando! We won't fly out of Orlando at Christmas time again.

Perhaps we...

Pros: Frequent flier program
Cons: Delays

After reading a lot of people's comments here, I would like to add a few of my own. I've flown several hundred thousand miles with about a dozen carriers for work and personal reasons. For every bad experience with a carrier, I can relate to several...

Pros: On time
Cons: Tight seating, couldn't sit with friend

I flew America West round trip on a one stop flight. There was nothing either terrible or spectacular about them upon check in. The agents told me that although I had a confirmed e-ticket reservation, I'd have to wait to be called before receiving my...

Pros: Good fares and reasonable service
Cons: Delays and reputation

I have flown America West many times in the past three years for both business and pleasure. It's not my favorite airline, but I do have to stand up for it. I've encountered the same horror stories that many other have, but I also recognize that they...

Pros: Low Fares
Cons: Pre-assigned Seats are hard to come by.

America West is a great airline if you can deal with the economy service that goes along with their low airfares. Among the more frustrating aspects of travel on America West is their policy to hold out as many as 70% of available seat assignments until...

Pros: Cheap prices.
Cons: Cheaper schedulers with no regard for passengers.

I flew from John Wayne (SNA, Orange County, California) to Las Vegas on AW due to price - a bit cheaper than Southwest. What I didn't realize beforehand was the way this airline does business. It appears the oft-mentioned 'delays' passengers experience ...

Pros: Great on-time performance
Cons: Variety of fare options

I have flown on America West Airlines since it's inception. As a matter of fact, their's was the first frequent flyer program that I joined. I have found the quality of their customer service to be lacking. I have also found that you need to shop...

Pros: very good price
Cons: impersonal,spacing on plane and on time performance

I think the title of this review says it all. America West airlines provides discounted air travel between many major cities in the United States. It flies to many destinations several times a day and always is packed to capacity. I have used this...

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: Prompt and friendly service.
Cons: Bad food, uncomfortable seats.

My second flight in all my life was on America West. I had previously flown on the now defunct Kiwi Airlines and I figured anything had to be better than that. Altogether it was.

Every one of the employees of America West that I came into...

Pros: nothing
Cons: everything

Terrible service, lack of crew, and bad food is only the beginning of this horrible experience. The flight was also delayed and the baggage check in was unacceptable. I did not like anything about this airline, and will never fly it again. The prices...

Pros: Fast check-in.
Cons: Multiple delays, Poor decision-making.

I flew home to Boston from Phoenix yesterday on America West. I arrived early for my 9AM flight. To America West's credit, they had the check-in counters well manned, keeping check-in lines to a minimum. The monitors clearly showed my flight delayed...

Pros: Some good prices, employee service okay
Cons: Frequent delays and overbooking, no amenities

I found epinions shortly after I booked a trip on America West airlines. Too bad I didn't find epinions slightly earlier, because the general negative view of the airline mirrored my experience.

I have flown five flight segments over the last...

Pros: we got our destination
Cons: uncomfortable seats, over booking no communication

I took America West because they flew to Orange County Airport and they were the best buy at the time. They cost less than some carriers but it wasn't worth the grey hair.

Flying from Boston to Phoenix wasn't that bad. It was crowded, there...
