Zero Service On US Airways
By Lothar. Filed in General, Germany |
Our ski trip to Italy began with a 2.5 hour delay. We were sitting in the great Albany International Airport, waiting for our plane to arrive from Philadelphia. Something about frozen equipment in Phili, causing the delay. As usual with US Airways, not even a cup of water was served on our one hour trip to Philadelphia. Once we arrived, I made a beeline for the US Airways Business Class Lounge.
From our around-the-world trip, I remembered soda, beer, wine, champagne, computer terminals, tasty food, newspapers, magazines, all provided free of charge by the foreign airlines. Big disappointment in Philadelphia! The lounge had free water plus crackers and small pieces of processed cheese. That was it, nothing else! Why would any Business traveler pay for these amenities and become a US Airways Club member?
US Airways flight 14 took us across the Atlantic to Munich, Germany. The service on board was not any better. No individual movie screens on their Boeing 767, freezing cold temperature, paper-thin blanket (I traveled in my ski jacket), headphones and beer now cost $5 each ( free on other airlines), the dinner was not meant for human consumption, the “breakfast” consisted of one greasy doughnut roll. The attitude of the very mature flight attendants was generally non-caring. I did not see them once during the night, such as coming through the aisles and maybe offering the passengers some water to drink!
I am glad that the captain brought us safely to Germany, but given the choice, I will be looking at other airlines for future travel.
