Just over a week ago, I wrote of my first experience using TSA's Trusted Travel program, Pre✓, at LAX. I was pleased with the fact that I could keep my shoes and coat on, although I was disappointed by the fact that so few airports & airlines had adopted the program.

US Airways is offering ten minutes of free Gogo Wi-Fi by entering promo code USFREE10. Gogo is available exclusively on US Airways' A321 aircraft and standard rates run from $4.95, depending on the type of device you have and flight length.

Last night I ran into a three-hour mechanical delay on a US Airways flight from Columbia, SC to Philadelphia. Most passengers were transported to their final destination via Washington National or Charlotte, so there when the flight finally departed, only eight passengers remained.

You would think that after a three-hour delay that US Airways was at fault for and with only eight passengers onboard a 50-seat CRJ aircraft, the agents would just want ...

Foul weather and a delayed Continental Airlines flight gave me the opportunity to sample US Airways yesterday from Philadelphia to Los Angeles. While I won't be defecting to US Airways anytime soon, the experience wasn't half-bad.
