Here’s the US Airways Fax number I promised. 480-693-8024. The receiving end is located in Tempe, Arizona.

 

Proud to fly with US.

Just had my license frames “installed”. Looks great. US Airways 25 operated by Suburu Outback 2010. =)

Take a look,

So my Mom’s miles didn’t post for a United flight she recently took. I haven’t had a mileage discrepancy for years- at least not regarding flight miles. South African Airways, Air New Zealand, Lufthansa flights posted very quickly. Whenever I have to “send” something in, I always use fax as a means of communications with US Airways. And since the merger, Winston Salem, NC is no longer the fax “center”, so it was about time to find out the new number anyway.

 I dial the Chairman’s number and press #3 so I don’t have to go through the machine process of entering my number. An agent picks up very quickly. No sooner that I mention my name, the agent responds “Ahh, Mr. Kinglobjaw, nice to hear from you again. How’s it going?” When I asked how he recognized me since I had not entered my DM # or provided him my phone, he responded “You travel alot. You’re known around here. Over the years, we have really learned so much from you”.

Sure, I’m flattered and yes, award bookings are much for fun, for the agent and myself since I’m know the rules of the game, but was this necessary? I’m just a loyal customer happy to deal with, speak with and most of all, fly with my favorite airline!

Still, at the end of the day, it’s nice to be known here and there!

About that fax number. I’ll post it later tonight since I don’t have access to my cabinet right now.

Here is something you probably have NEVER seen before! And it’s the definitely the last thing you would expect at an airport. TAP has a performance in store for you:

 

I love it! . That is one awesomely crazy way of getting in “tune” with your customers!

Still wait for ‘erm, Philly? Are there any cactus related songs we can play?

So I log on to USAirways.com. I want to check my Dividend Miles account balance. What do I see on the bottom? Fly the Flag® to Rio de Janeiro from $631 roundtrip. Sure, the deal sounds decent enough, but for a true US Airways loyalist, it’s a flash back! A flash back to the “darker” days, and by darker I only mean the livery color!

Apparently, a version of ”Fly the Flag” was used by both USAir in the 1990’s and the re-named US Airways in the early 2000’s, before the merger with America West, of course.

Recalling my US Airways colectibles, I believe I still have a car sticker that says “Fly the Flag” and a shirt button that says “Fly the Flag” with a picture of the old US Airways tail in the very classy navy coloring.

I’ll try to post some pictures once I get my hand on these things again!

Speaking of collectibles and US Airways “gear”, I just purchased three items from the US Airways Company Store;

1. A US Airways license plate theme for my new car

2. A 2010 US Airways Calendar

3. A 2010 US Airways Pocket Calendar/Planner

You can follow the US Airways Company Store on Facebook!
