:angry: Just another reason to be ashamed and embarrassed to work for USAirways :angry:
I purchased a full fare ticket for me and my elderly mother to travel to CLT from IAD for a few days at a nice B&B in Asheville. My mother is 81 and really not suited for the rigors of non-rev, standby travel anymore. I then contacted the Employee Travel office to see if we would be charged for checked bags. They said yes!! Even though they are making revenue on our FULL FARE tickets, they WILL NOT waive the checked bag fees for an employee traveling with his elderly mother who's on his travel pass!
Ridiculous!!
Tempe continues to make money off our backs at every turn. Why can't they waive checked bag fees across the board for employees and those on their travel cards?
I should have booked Delta--it was only a few more dollars to fly IAD-AVL-IAD then we charge for IAD-CLT-IAD--and I wouldn't have to drive 2 hours.
Lesson learned. I will never again pay a nickel to fly this sorry airline. I know why our passengers dislike us so much....
And as for the ED20 discount travel...a total ripoff. Roundtrip IAD-CLT was over $500 per person.
The $15 is no big deal--I can afford it so that my mother doesn't have to carry her suitcase through the airport....it's the principle.
