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 * Advance seat assignments and boarding passes

collect a tax of $3.10 every time a customer takes off on one of US
