America West - ? Good airlines
 

Can get a good deal from Dallas to San Diego via America West. We have never flown this airlines. I would appreciate any information, re. reliability, comfort, customer service, etc. Thanks

we flew America West from JFK to Las <BR>Vegas last year and did not experience <BR>any delays (or any other problems). <BR>

AW is a no frills airline. I've flown them many times from LA to San Francisco, Las Vegas, even New York. Reliability has always been good. Just don't expect great inflight meals.

I flew AW a couple of times and twice we had to make emergency landings. I will never fly them again!

As a Phoenix resident, I've flown AWA at least 75 times. I've never had a problem with a flight cancellation (except once, now that I think about it, when the runways at my destination airport flooded due to a torrential rain for half a day), and certainly never an emergency landing!? (don't fly with Randi obviously, some serious bad karma there). <BR>AWA is a leg up on SWA in my book because they assign seats and I just detest the extra waiting that SWA imposes on their clients due to that policy. <BR>AWA is better than NWA IMO, but not on the same level as UA/AA (not that they're the standards of perfection, though).

Do not fly this airline! I've had nothing but bad experiences w/ them. In fact, my mother just flew them and she's so upset w/ them that she called & complained to her travel agent and wrote a letter to the airline. They are absolutely the worst. Oh yeah, they lost my brothers luggage to top it off. When I say lost, it was never found.

I've flown AmericaWest several times, and for a "no frills" airlines I think it's OK. I will be leaving for Milwaukee tomorrow morning, and will be flying with them. They did cancel our original flight for tomorrow morning - we were supposed to leave at 7:15am, but now are leaving at 6:30am. No biggie for me, as all arrangements were made through my T/A. <BR> <BR>My worst nightmare was on Northwest - NEVER on time, ALWAYS late, and lost my luggage due to Seattle being fogged in. (Thing was, I had left LAX for a non-stop flight to Minneapolis, for a connection to Milwaukee. The original plane I was one was supposed to continue to Detroit and then on to Dulles, but it was never explained to me how my luggage wound up in Seattle!?!?!) <BR> <BR>No matter what airlines you fly, you will find people who have had good and not so good experiences. I think for the most part AW is OK. <BR>
