T&C:

eCertificate: UW050613
Availability is pretty good, and I like how they allow return on Sunday (instead of Monday or Tuesday) so one doesn't have to lose a work day. There's also an 5,000 miles discount with US Airways credit card. And Gold and higher ...
If US Airways and American Airlines do end up merging, I hope the good folks at the US Airways call centers do not lose their positions. I depend on them to get my jollies...
I just have to share one of today's calls with you--
AGENT (with thick Southern drawl): Can I help you make a new Dividend Miles reservation?
ME: Yes, please--I'm tyring to book a round-trip from Boston to Bangkok. I was speaking to another agent about space earlier so if you'd like I can read you ...
Since earlier this week I posted about the 40K/50K Bonus offer from US Airways when you sign up for the US Airways Credit Card, I thought it would only be reasonable to provide my readers with a top 10 list featuring what I consider some of the best uses of US Airways Miles.

Yet all is not well in the world of US Airways. All signs point to an imminent award chart devaluation and the program offers no ...
For the second time in just over a year, US Airways has raised the price of purchased miles. Effective immediately, miles now cost 3.5 cents each--a 27% increase over the 2.75 cents the miles were previously available at and a 40% increase over what miles cost just around this time last year.
Why the price increase? First, 3.5 cents per mile is around what most carrier charge, including Star Alliance partner United/Continental. Second, if the past is any indicator of the future, miles ...
I had a marathon day with US Airways yesterday, but when the dust settled I successfully booked a very attractive 10-segment business class itinerary, bucking the conventional wisdom and stern admonitions from many agents that awards cannot exceed eight segments.
