Steve O asked:


What I’m confused on is what and how a credit card works that gives you miles for spending money. I got a US Airways® Visa® Signature® Card. I get 25,000 bonus miles after my first net retail purchase. I don’t know what that means. Can someone explain how these work. Thanks!

The miracle on the Hudson. As a result of the US Airlines plane that crash landed on Hudson the passengers are being given $5000 each to replace lost luggae. Apparently they say “That is not enough!” Hear Helen’s take.

This website http://www2.usairways.com/en-EU/travel_information/baggage_policies/default.html says that you may bring a carry-on bag under 18kg inside and a personal item including purses, laptop bags or briefcases.
What I want to know is if I can bring a backpack instead of a purse…it weighs under 15kg

frustrated asked:


We are planning a trip home to South Africa in July 2009 from Colombia but the ticket prices are extremely expensive. What are the chances of the prices dropping because of the lower oil prices?

When is the best time to book for specials?
Thanks

Jack asked:


I booked a ticket from Atlanta, Ga to Williamsport,Pa with a layover in Philadelphia, PA on us airways. The fare was $175. Now If I booked just the flight from Atlanta to Philly the fare was $216. My question is will I get charged a fee if I try to change my itinerary to just end in Philadelphia. It just seems crazy that it is cheaper to fly from Atlanta to Philly, to Williamsport then it is for that same flight to Philly.

How do people get to Iran to go white water rafting, hang gliding or fishing? I have read on the news that folks have slipped over the border and I’m interested in doing the same thing, but not getting caught.

linyaari77 asked:


I’m booked to fly to Budapest, Hungary (through Paris, France) via Air France today, actually…but an unexpected complication arose this morning, and it would be very, very inconvenient and complicated to go now. My question is: is there any way that I can cancel my flight and possibly receive a refund (I realize it’s impossible to receive a full refund, but even a partial one would do)?

Thanks in advance.

kiki asked:


Who do you think has the best service and comfort for a long international flight? Continental, United, USAirways, Delta…etc…?
Thank you lisa maree, but I guess I should explain this is a flight for my parents, who have never flown internationally, and they are going from OK to Narita, Japan. so I don’t think your best are an option for them…..

NiCole asked:


If you have a flight with USairways does it cost money to have someone escort you from one flight to another? Ive heard that it does but im unsure. Its my first time flying, and Im doing so by myself so im a little worried about switching flights so i want someone that works for the airport to walk me there, lol, but i want to know if it costs more.
