Well, I really liked some of the changes. I can change my seat at any time. I can build my own trip and see how it will affect the pricing.
I also really like the ability to use an award for a one way trip.
Couple of things I miss:
I had to put all my credit card info whereas before it was stored for me. I know, it's probably safer this way.
The reservation is not showing up in Virtually There yet, and I used to be able to go directly to VT from my reservation. Doesn't seem to do that now.
I used that function all the time to send info to my calendar.

You should be able to see your reservation on the website now and send it to yourself.

And also to anyone else you want through the US site. But yes, the VT connection seems to be missing.

I know exactly what you are talking about with calendar not sending to outlook. I know i can do that on Starwood.. but US does not offer that (well the new US). I know that since my company books through the AMEX site, we can do that, and it is nice to just click on the two flight links and it automatically updates my calendar.

That would seem like a simple feature they could add. I would send something to the technical support. I sent something about OLCI, that it should keep my Dividend Miles and support Single Signon, to get my information, and received what seemed to be a personal email that they thank me for letting them know how we use the site and where we are frustrated. So maybe, since this was a previous feature on the previous US Airways site, they may code it into the new site.

Thanks everyone for your replies. I emailed US and they said they no longer have the feature of updating Outlook and you can no longer view on VT.
Back to manual input into my calendar! Yes, I can email it to myself but I do like it on my calendar.

VT is owned by SABRE which IIRC was going away in favor of SHARES as the rez system going forward.

While this is understandable the loss of download functionality isn't. Hopefully they will correct/add this feature.
