If you book a flight with US Airways, is the plane a United plane???

Question

I really need help

Answer 1

No, US Airways is associated with America West. Don't worry, they are at the same gates at any airport. So basically, if you book a flight on usairways.com, there is a 50% chance you fly a US airways painted airplane or an america west painted plane.
A US airways airplane is painted black with some red or white stripes or their new paint design is a white plane with some blue stripes and all of their planes are in the Airbus A320 family.
An America West airplane, however, is painted red and green and will be either an Airbus A320 or a Boeing 737-300.
Hope it helps!

Answer 2

For Petes sake, if US AIrways doesn't fly that city pair.....YES YES YES it can be!

United & US Airways are both members of the "Star Alliance" and they interline passengers. As mentioned, that is called a CODESHARE. For instance, a person ticketed on a United Flight from LAX to CLT will actually be flying on US AIrways as United doesn't actually fly that route.

SEE IT FOR YOURSELF.
As an example, go to the US Airways page flight schedules page and look up CLT (an Airways city) to SYD (A United city), you will find that after a connection, you will be flying on United, not US Airways to SYD. UAL operates US Airways flights in the 6500 -7100 number range.

It works the other way too-
Here is an example, where on the United homepage it lists flights as "operated by US Airways" on behalf of UAL-

Notice the United logo on the US Airways "partners" page too-

BTW- US Airways & America West are actually the same airline now as they have merged.

Answer 3

Not necessarily. Most of the airlines have agreements with other carriers to get you from minor airports to hubs where United has a presence. In California for example, there is a small airport in San Luis Obispo that flies prop planes down to LAX for the major airlines.

Answer 4

IF it is a United codeshare flight. You may book with one carrier and actually fly on another because of a "codeshare" cooperation between carriers where they share both the cost and revenue of your flight. This enables carriers to get more people to book onto their airlines and these people to travel to places that carrier may not fly to. Plus the traveller can build up more frequent flyer miles with the same carrier even though they are on another carrier's plane.

Answer 5

Not if it is operated by US Airways.

Let me explain, it could possibly be on a United plane because US Airways and United both belong to the Star Alliance, which means you could book tikects on one airline and fly another because they are partners,

say for example if i wanted a flight from Cheyenne, WY to San Francisco , CA. I could book my trip on United Airline's website entirely. But, united does not fly direct from cheyenne to san francisco anymore, which means i would have to connect thru denver, and on my way from cheyenne to denver i would fly great lakes airlines, a whole diffrent airline but a partner with united and frontier, so i could even book a great lakse ticket on frontier's website. hope you understand ill that its kinda hard to explain but you should get the general idea

Answer 6

No, they are 2 different airlines. However because they are both members of Star Alliance depending on where you are flying they could codeshare and you could end up flying on an United plane.

Answer 7

If it's a codeshare flight, that's possible. It's also possible that US Airways doesn't serve the entire route so they'll put you on another airline for the portion that they don't serve.

Answer 8

Southworst does not have respected bag expenditures, yet quite upped their fares the equivalent volume. i will fly Alaska Air each and every time, accompanied by ability of JetBlue if mandatory. Alaska has partnerships with different airlines, so extra concepts could desire to something bypass incorrect. Southworst does not. you may get assigned seating with Alaska (and JetBlue), not with Southworst. Alaska Air did not win the JD potential award for terrific airline 3 years in a row for not something.

Answer 9

Are you insane?
