I've never had any problems getting an award flight on US Airways. BUT, given their concentration on the east coast of the US, they probably have a very high concentration of requests for the few "tourist" destinations they actually serve (Carribean, Orlando, Europe routes). After all, how often is someone going to request an award flight from Richmond, Virginia to Manchester, New Hampshire? Not too often I bet. This is opposed to UA or AA who have much more extensive domestic and international route networks and therefore probably get requests for a much broader range of award destinations. That is why it does not suprise me to see biggies like UA and AA at the top of this list and the smaller, more concentrated TWA, US Airways, and SW at the bottom. Delta, in my opinion, looks like the "tough ticket" to me. Glad I don't fly them too often.
