US Airways.com Goes Ultra Mobile

eTN

Customers now have the convenience of US Airways' Web site in the palm of their hand.

It just got easier to book a US Airways flight, retrieve a reservation or check your flight status or schedule on the fly, as US Airways brings expanded internet functionality to your hand-held wireless device with the new Mobile US Airways.

US Airways has teamed up with Usablenet mobile to provide Personal Digital Assistant (PDA) and web-based cell phone users with content and functionality from http://www.usairways.com/ optimized for these devices.

"Today it seems like almost all of our customers have a wireless device of some kind on which they have grown accustomed to conducting all manner of business wherever they are. US Airways is now one of a small number of airlines that allows passengers to purchase a ticket via their device, providing the ultimate freedom to all our customers," said Travis Christ, vice president, sales and marketing for US Airways. "With a new, convenient text service to be announced later this summer, US Airways is about to become one of the most wireless friendly carrier in the skies."

Previously, US Airways customers could only check schedules from their handhelds. With Mobile US Airways, customers can easily navigate through the low-graphics, specialized format and use almost all of the features and functionality available at http://www.usairways.com/, including searching for flights, making a reservation, changing a reservation and checking flight status. Customers can also sign up to become a member of Dividend Miles, US Airways' award-winning frequent flyer program, and log in to their Dividend Miles account using Mobile US Airways.

To access Mobile US Airways, customers can simply visit http://www.usairways.com/ from their PDA or Web-enabled cell phone.
