We don’t offer award travel to/from the cities you’re searching.!!???
I apologize if this is addressed somewhere else, but I couldn't find anything on it. I'm new to US Airways and recently took advantage of the US Airways card offer, so I was tooling around on US Airways sight for award availability and this is the message I get whenever I search
"We don’t offer award travel to/from the cities you’re searching. "
I fly out of FSD and US Airways flys out of there but they don't allow award flights from FSD?? I tried the same destination but starting at ORD and it found flights so it clearly was my airport that is not allowed.. This is really irritating.. Anyone have any idea why that would be??

I would guess because they only offer codeshare flights on UA and UAX metal.

If that's the case look on United for Award availability and you should be able to use your US miles to book a United flight... though you do have to call the USAir reservations number...

Everyones explanations are right. I was surprised and unsure. For some reason I had it in my head that US Airways flew out of FSD. I could have sworn that I have seen US Airways flights on my companies booking site when I have booked business travel in the past. Maybe they used to but don't any more. Or maybe I am just going crazy. (the latter is more likely!)

US offers FSD using UAX from UA hubs. Those flights to/from FSD appear to be codeshares meaning they're bookable with a US or UA flight number.

US Airways Award Travel sucks
My JFK-PIT yields the same error as it's operated by UA. Sucks. I had to cave in for LGA-PIT to stay on US metal. US's IT (Information Technology) needs serious serious investment. Either that or they decided they don't care.

Not that I recall. There were a lot of smaller midwest cities without service.

And B6 is pulling its PIT-JFK flight next month. Only AA (1 flight daily) and DL (3 flights) with mostly CRJ and ER4 (no F seats). JFK has tremendous premium international travel options but they're a real pain to schedule from PIT. Nothing like stepping off international F on to a miserable AA ER4. I've been back-tracking to ORD via UA to access more *A options.
