America West Airlines, US Airways or United Airlines?

Q: Wanting to fly one way from SFO to LAS in January. Have done a few searches (Expedia, Orbitz, etc) and the prices are very similar (if not the same) between America West Airlines, US Airways and United Airlines. Which is the better airline out of the three to fly with? Do any include meals or do you have to pay on each airline (especially America West Airlines)? Any advise would be greatly appreciated.

A:Go with the airline that offers the lowest price for the time you want to fly. Consider buying a round trip ticket and discarding the return portion because it will almost certainly be cheaper than buying a one way ticket.

America west airlines luggage lost

I have used America West Airlines twice in the past 18 months for last minute, but still affordable flights from Seattle to the East Coast. (I am CO Silver, so it pays for me to stick with CO/NW/HP) They are perfectly fine via PHX, but never again will I take one of their red-eyes via LAS. I do not have stats on their lost luggage, and on both of my trips I carried-on.
And always put your complete itinerary (including that of the ship) inside the bags or in an accessible pouch/tag.
Be sure to pack necessities (medicine, etc.) in your carry-on.
