It was Flag Day in 1999 when I took my first flights on USAirways. A wonderful PHL-PIT-JST trip.
Anyways, on this anniversary of my first US flight, I was wondering if all of us FTers combined have hit all 203 destinations that US (currently) serves... Will Kansas be our demise?
I'm sure Europe is easy to cross off, but I really don't remember any specifics stories of people's trips to BRU.
Alas, very little opportunity to fly USAir anymore.
Back in the '70s, then-Allegheny used to sell one- and two-week passes for a few hundred bucks. I remember reading about an unemployed Dayton schoolteacher who got a lot of publicity by arranging to visit every Allegheny destination on one of the two-weekers. Whew, talk about a run!

BGR - Bangor, Maine
PWM - Portland, Maine
My other list is decent, ORD, SJU, MHT, PVD, DCA, PHL, MCO, PBI, FLL, Sarasota, CLT, BTR, RDU, IAD, LGW, MUC, AMS..and probably more.

I've probably missed the point of chexfan's thread - since I'm about to list where I've flown on US and US Express. If I have, I'll edit to list the destinations I can think of too.
Just on US: BOS, CLT (when I used to lived elsewhere), ATL, TPA, LAX, SFO, LGA, EWR, JFK (well, back when they flew there), IND, ORD, YYZ, PIT, PHL, IAD, LGW, AMS, MAN, FRA, MCI, MCO, PBI, MIA, SAV, DCA, BWI, TYS, CMH, ORF, SYR, DEN, PHX, LAS, RDU

chex: sorry if it was I who missed the point.
My list is airports which are currently served by USAir, which I flew to on flights on USAir or its constituent, pre-merger parts.
You are keeping track of all of this, eh? Will there be a test?

I have another addition to the list: MSS = Massena, New York. Most of you have probably never heard of it, but I went to school in nearby Potsdam, New York for a year before transferring.
I've also flown to the following (aforementioned) cities via US Airways: ATL, BOS, CDG, DEN, CVG, EWR, FLL, DFW, IAD, ISP, LAX, LGA, LGW, MKE, MYR, PHL, RDU, SEA, SFO, SNA, and YOW. I'm not sure if connections count, but I didn't include CLT or PIT since I've never flown with either city as a destination. I think we have those cities covered though. http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/biggrin.gif

I'll add LEB (Lebanon, NH) which at one point had servce from three airlines (NW, DL, and US feeders) but now only has a few US Express flights to PHL and LGA which are both very poorly-timed and not competitively priced (compared to MHT) either.

Does "203 destinations" include all of the "partner airline" destinations (e.g. ALL of the many-colored dots on the map in the back of Envoy)?
If so, add SIN and NRT - flown on a US 'Mileage Partner.'

If thats the case, then you can add BRU and LCY (On Sabena, when they were a partner) to my list. HPN too, I forgot (don't know if they were mentioned already)

According to this press release (http://biz.yahoo.com/prnews/020619/dcw029_1.html), the "203 destinations" only includes destinations served by "US Airways, US Airways Express carriers, and the US Airways Shuttle."
Also, isn't the US Airways in-flight magazine called Attache? http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/smile.gif

Davo - OGS is only 10 miles farther from Potsdam than Massena, so it's quicker to deplane there when you consider the added flight time. I haven't used OGS myself, but did drop someone off there back in 1987 (must have been a regional USAir carrier I think) when I was a student in nearby Canton.
