US Airways Rolls Out More New Low GoFares
Adds Syracuse and Nashville From Washington, D.C.
ARLINGTON, Va., July 1 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- US Airways today announced
two new GoFares(R) markets for Washington, D.C., area customers, offering
simplified fares as low as $89* each way, available immediately, to and from
Syracuse, N.Y., and Nashville. This further expands US Airways' role as the
largest low-fare carrier at Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport.
US Airways' Washington-Syracuse GoFares start as low as $89* each way in Coach,
with last minute fares as low as $139* each way. Washington-Nashville GoFares
begin at $99* each way, with last minute fares available as low as $159* each
way. The lowest fares for both Syracuse and Nashville require an advance
purchase.
US Airways first introduced Washington GoFares on June 18, 2004, making them
available on 22 initial routes. Washington GoFares are simple, with no Coach
fare ever more than $499* each way, and no Saturday-night stay requirement.
"We've heard positive feedback from our customers about GoFares, and we are
pleased to continue their expansion into Nashville and Syracuse, both of which
we serve nonstop from Reagan National," said B. Ben Baldanza, US Airways senior
vice president of marketing and revenue management. "Whether you're flying for
business or pleasure, GoFares make low-fare travel simpler and more convenient
than ever."
Additionally, Seth, the GoFares guy, will be on the streets of Washington
Thursday celebrating the addition of Syracuse and Nashville GoFares. He will
be handing out special gifts that are representative of these two new GoFares
markets, including country music CDs.
Customers flying US Airways also enjoy many benefits not always offered by low
fare alternatives, including:
* The convenience of Reagan National's proximity to D.C., and quick curb-
to-gate time
* Airport Metrorail access
* Pre-boarding for Preferred Dividend Miles members
* In-flight Cafe on select flights
* Ability to earn frequent flier miles for travel to and from more than
750 destinations worldwide through US Airways' participation in the Star
Alliance

government requires that the company collect a tax of $3.10 every time a
customer takes off on one of US Airways' planes, plus $2.50 per segment, up to
$10 per trip (the September 11th Security Fee). Some of the airports that
customers might visit also charge up to $4.50 for passing through, but the
total is capped at $18 per trip. The lowest fares must be purchased 14 days in
