It’s almost hidden to the public eye, yet if you dig deep enough, you will find one link on the old website that will connect you with part of the new US Airways website. Many of us have waited anxiously for the new USAirways.com which was supposed to debut in early 2008, but has been pushed back to late Winter/ early Spring 2009. Even though it was first tested in Spring/Summer of 2007, US Airways is making us wait a while.  Worth the wait? All signs point in that direction, and while this sneek preview won’t let you book tickets, check schedules or login to your Dividend Miles account, you can decide yourself by viewing all the informational content. In my opinion, the new website is well organized and very appealing to the eye. I will go as far to say- this is one of the best looking airline websites out there.

Start exploring by finding the banner pictured below. To find this banner visit the baggage section on the old US Airways website, pretend you want to track your bag, and select the 10 or more characters option. This is essentially the same as http://baggage.usairways.com/. That is how you find this banner, and once you found it, you will have to click it. That is your doorway to the new USAirways.com

There’s a lot of content to sift through, so I’ll let you explore on your own.

Some highlights which I found interesting/important:

• Detailed upgrade policy
• Option of buying Club day passes online
• Easy access to international editions of USAirways.com
• A redone route map (showcasing all possible connections including Star Alliance + codeshare services)
• US Airways fleet page now shows the Airbus A330-200 and A350 with seat count (however sketch of plane is innacurate for A350)

If you find anything else that’s interesting, make sure to leave a comment and include a link. Thanks!

Have a nice clicK life,
