yes, works for LAX as well, just booked a same day return.
This would be my first time on US metal. 38" pitch for domestic 1st? on a 757? yuck!!
What's the deal with flights 156 and 42 leaving at 1 min difference between them heading to the same city - PHX?
PL prices out every itin usair.com has, but at $5-6 less.
Edit: Is there anywhere on usairways.com where I can view a proper E-ticket receipt with fare basis and booking code et al ?

The fare is a good YUP though a pity it isn't on AA/UA.

well unfortunately I recently flew this route w/ UA as well and their food offerings on the LAX/ORD segment are pathetic - choice of some salad or a soggy, semi-frozen sandwich. (and no meals on the ORD-ATL route).
Looks like my flights from PHX-ATL-PHX are supposed to be 'lunch' and 'dinner'. Can't be worse than a soggy sandwich, or can it?

I Double checked fare class with US
I did NOT discuss routing or pricing, just ask if this fare class books as business class fare or first class. I was told Business Class fare for you BD flyers.
But the BMI fare chart says "A" fares earn 3.0 times????
Anybody going ATL to West coast?

BD miles
Obviously if you're at the 6.25x mileage plateau this then is a quite a good deal. While I would abhor a US run normally, I might do one or two of these, if I could work them into a business trip of some sort.
