America West
 

Has anyome flown America West from Tampa to Las Vegas.If so how did you like them?

America West is America West IMO.<BR>Whether you fly them Boston-Phoenix or Tampa to Sacramento.<BR>There are MANY opinions about AWA in the archives here which are within 6-12 months old.<BR>AWA is a close to no-frills airline. But they do assign seats, so none of that silly waiting like at Southwest.<BR>Service is like all others in the same market segment these days (USAir, Northwest are similar to AWA).<BR>On time performance was poor in 1999-2000. AWA was #1 in on time performance for the last quarter of 2001.<BR><BR>I just don't find any real differences among the two big groups of AWA/USAir/NWA and UA/AA/Delta/Continental.<BR>Group 2 is slightly better than group 1.<BR>But there are no consistently stellar performers among the major airlines in this country.<BR>

Are we only allowed to reply if we flew out of Tampa? ;-) <BR>I've used America West a few times flying to AZ in the early 90's and 2 years ago had an America West vacation package to Vegas. No complaints. Good service, on time, friendly. To add to it, I had great package deal through the airline (hotel & air) with Mandalay Bay. By the time I checked in, the hotel was sold out and since my reservation was prepaid, the upgraded me to a suite since that was all they had left. Vegas certainly knows how to make a first impression.

We flew American West out of Newark last Aug.It stunk.From beginning to end, there were problems,overbooking, late,and the same on the return trip-Will never use them again.<BR>Continental is the best so far..non-stop from NY/NJ and good service,on time very time.

I flew AM from LA to Vegas once and didn't like it. Strange considering it was a 45 minute flight but service left much to be desired. :)

There nick name is American Worst. The redeyes back from vegas are always late !! You're tired enough flying all night, but they make you sit in Vegas a couple extra hours before you leave !!
