| US AIRWAYS will no longer allow you to travel with your pets. For those that use US Airways...starting Oct 1, 2005!!! US AIRWAYS ALIGNS POLICIES WITH AMERICA WEST AIRLINES IN PREPARATION FOR PROPOSED MERGER ARLINGTON, Va., Aug. 17, 2005 -- In preparation for its anticipated merger with America West Airlines, US Airways has aligned three of its policies so that the combined carrier will be better able to offer seamless service to its customers when the merger is completed. The changes being announced today are consistent with existing policies at America West and other low-cost airlines. The following changes are scheduled to take effect Oct. 1, 2005: * Children ages 5 to 14 who are traveling as unaccompanied minors will be accepted by US Airways for travel only on nonstop flights. The fee for unaccompanied minor travel will be reduced to $40. US Airways will make an exception for unaccompanied minors with ticketed reservations made prior to Aug. 17, 2005. They may travel on connecting flights through Nov. 1, 2005. Reservations for unaccompanied minor travel on connecting flights made after Aug. 17, 2005, will be honored through Sept. 30, 2005. * Passengers needing supplemental oxygen will no longer be able to purchase it on US Airways flights. However, the airline is working to implement new policies as a result of the FAA’s recent approval of Portable Oxygen Concentrators. * Live animals will no longer be accepted for travel as checked baggage or cargo. US Airways will make an exception for ticketed reservations made before Aug. 17, 2005, to carry pets as checked baggage, which will be honored through Nov. 1, 2005. The policy change does not apply to the transportation of service animals. “We have made these policy changes as part of our strategy to simplify the new airline's business while retaining service elements that are important to our customers. These changes are more in line with other low-cost competitors,” said US Airways Executive Vice President of Operations Al Crellin. A small number of US Airways customers who already hold reservations for travel after Oct. 1, 2005, will be affected by these policy changes. In order to minimize any inconvenience, beginning today US Airways will contact all affected customers and assist them in making alternate arrangements. US Airways currently is the nation’s seventh-largest airline, serving 183 communities in the U.S., Canada, Europe, the Caribbean and Latin America. US Airways, US Airways Shuttle and the US Airways Express partner carriers operate approximately 3,400 flights per day. For more information on US Airways flight schedules and fares, visit US Airways online at usairways.com, or call US Airways Reservations at 1-800-428-4322. US Airways is a member of the Star Alliance, which was established in 1997 as the first truly global airline alliance to offer customers global reach and a smooth travel experience. The other members are Air Canada, Air New Zealand, ANA, Asiana Airlines, Austrian, bmi, LOT Polish Airlines, Lufthansa, Scandinavian Airlines, Singapore Airlines, Spanair, TAP Portugal, Thai Airways International, United and VARIG Brazilian Airlines. South African Airways and SWISS will be integrated during the course of the next 12 months. Overall, the member carriers offer more than 15,000 daily flights to 795 destinations in 139 countries.

| Okay -- I misread it . . . thanks Rex'z momma. I was ready checked baggage OR cargo as carryon. Whew! My daughter took Delta to NC this summer and both daughters took Delta back here. It was a MESS. Cancelled flights, delays, bussing 2 1/2 hours away to another airport only for more cancelled flights. I'd never wish that nightmare on anyone especially travelling with children and pets! Poor Cooper endured 16 hours in airports/airplanes instead of 4 hours!!
