I think my wife has your weekend in Europe beat, back in 1989 she flew to FRA to have breakfast and return to PHX.
Actually she did me a favor as the company I was working for needed a personal courier to hand carry a part from Garrett Aviation to FRA. I was working in Europe at the time, so met her there in FRA, had breakfast then she flew off to PHX while I headed off to SYD.

I once flew from Phoenix to LA to Seoul, met with someone airside for just less than an hour, signed a contract and got back on the same NW plane (same seat, in fact!) and came home. When the immigration officer in LA asked me when I left the US, I said, "yesterday." Every inch of my bags (not to mention me!) was inspected by customs. It was a loooong day!

Absolutely. Attache is classy and cultured. At the same time, "America West Magazine," IMO, is a pretty decent name; makes me think of a magazine that is about the "American West." But "US Airways Magazine," I dunno, for some reason it doesn't really flow to me.
