elcome onboard part 6 of my USA adventure where I will be taking a 30-hour journey from Florida to Belgium! US Airways is one of my least favorite carriers but still wanted to log them one more time before they change completly into American Airlines. Originally this flight was booked on the Boeing 737-400, however the equipment changed to the A321 just a few weeks after, at least the 321 isnt that wel flewn yet in the log. Lets see how it goes!

Departure: 80%
Ft Lauderdale is a nice airport with open spaces! TSA was very friendly as well! If there weren't that many construcions going on at the time they where rated for better

Aircraft cleanliness 60%
N189UW had a well-aged cabin with signs of age.

Seat comfort: 70%
Standard legroom but very well padded

Crew: 70%
Business friendy crew, where very rushed during boarding.

IFE: 80%
Wifi

Catering: 60%
Overpriced BOB with very limited options...

Arrival: 80%
Smooth but very crowded.

Overall verdict; 71%
While other major US carriers are investing alot to improve their inflight product US Airways is still the same as it was 5 years ago, It really reminded me of the old days of USA domestic travel. Not too much information at the gate, old plane, terrible BOB and no IFE.... On the one side I'm glad to log US one more time but on the other hand I'm not sad at all they will be merging into American Airlines

This is the first video I've seen on YouTube of a landing at Charlotte on runway 23. Nice job!

I have been enjoying the whole series of flights, but YouTube did not make it easy; however, logged into your channel it can be worked out. So I am enjoying your plan.
Also I like your frankness; some commentators seem to suck up to the airline on every trip for various motives no doubt, some to avoid hostility to camera from staff; others to get extra VIP treatment with Cabin Crew etc. Please keep to your Candid approach. Thanks; have seen one trip out of sequence; never mind.

But when push comes to shove US Airways do miracles, like on the Hudson!
