US Airways PHL-PHX
Im looking at flights from Philadelphia to Phoenix, in early November. The price is $260. Is this a good deal? The outbound flight is on a Boeing 757, and the return is on an Airbus A321. What plane is nicer the 757, or the A321? I think the A321 will be newer than the 757?
Thanks!
Thanks!

I see from your profile you live in or near EWR. CO has non-stop EWR-PHX for $279.20 A/I in early November. IMHO it's a much better Y product and they are running the 739-ERs on the route which means there's a good chance you'll have seat-back IFE with DirecTV, movies, music, etc. If on a 738 you'll at least have the drop-down scren IFE for free. After 10/27 CO will be in *A so you'll get DM credit.

In terms of plane preference, its really what you prefer and whether or not you get upgrades (FF status etc). You can get details on seats at http://www.seatguru.com

That's about average. There are a few late Oct dates for $135-150 range all in on DL or NW. Use flexible search on Orbitz
