There are still big chunks of information for which we are awaiting details, notably the Avios and TP earning charts, we will endeavour to get them online as soon as we can.
On Monday 31 March 2014, US Airways joined the
oneworld alliance as an Affiliate of the American Airlines Group, which also operates American Airlines. US Airways will be progressively merged into American Airlines, and eventually its distinctive corporate image will leave the skies. In the meantime US Airways runs some 600 aircraft, with hubs in Charlotte, Phoenix and Philadephia, and services to and from 24 countries.
This thread is to help BA Executive Club members in their efforts to earn, redeem and fly with US Airways. See the wiki above for a roadmap of links.
