Anyone have experience with US Airways in flying to Europe?

[TripleAAA]

I've been checking out the rates on round trip plane tickets to London from LAX and found a site that offers discounted rates for students and teachers....www.studentuniverse.com

The cheapest ticket I found was for about $600 going by US Airways, but I've never had experience with them and they beat out all other airlines by several hundred bucks. So, do their planes just suck? What kind of toys, goodies, movies, etc do you get?

Two years ago , I took British Airways and it was a great flight. Comfortable, plenty of food, drinks, movies etc to keep you busy, but they want between $1,000-1,200 round trip now.

Lastly, does anyone know a better site out there that can possibly beat that deal? I've checked out Travelocity, Orbitz, etc.

Thanks all and try to have a good week huh?

Well I flew back from Europe last December 23 on U.S. Airways, and it was a freakin' nightmare. I would hope it was an isolated incident with them, but was bad enough that I would never use them again regardless of their prices. I was so disgusted with them that when I landed in Chicago for my connection flight, I just rented a one way rental car and drove from there to Des Moines, IA

I flew with several different airlines back and forth from Europe over three years, and all were pretty pleasant flights except U.S. Airways.

flown US Airways 3 times to Europe. never had a problem. In fact, it was great. If you get the Airbus A330, you have your OWN LCD screen in front of you, with tons of stuff to choose from. Half a dozen movies, sitcoms, documentaries, music videos, a variety of music to listen to, and you control it with a little remote. The food isn't that bad, you'll get dinner and a pretty good breakfast, and they almost always give you the whole pop can when the drink carts come around. I'd say antiAbit is being a bit unreasonable, based on ONE experience.

I flew with a group of students to Germany and back with US Airways. It was in '98, so things might have changed since then. I can't really say that it was a good or bad flight but I didn't have any problems.
