TRAVEL GUIDE

US Airways

Traveling with Infants and Children

Children's and Infant Fares

One child under two years of age, not occupying a seat and accompanied by a customer at least 15 years of age, will be transported without charge within the continental U.S.

Accompanied children under two years of age traveling to an international destination may be required to pay a fare, whether or not they occupy a seat.

When an infant will turn two years of age after origination, FAA requires that a seat be purchased for the portion of the journey where the infant is two years old. This may include a child or adult roundtrip or one way fare.

All other accompanied children under 12 years of age occupying a seat will be charged the appropriate fare. Children's fares may be available in some markets. Customers aged 12 and over will be charged the applicable adult fare.

Unaccompanied children at least five years of age and under 15 years of age will be charged the applicable adult fare. There will be a service charge for unaccompanied children aged five to 14 years of age. If two or more children from the same family are traveling together, only one such service charge will be assessed. "Same family" is defined as brother/sister, half brother/half sister, stepbrother/stepsister.

Reservations for infants cannot be made through usairways.com. Contact US Airways reservations.

Child Restraints and Car Seats

A child restraint system will be accepted for transportation in the customer cabin only if the restraint system can be stowed beneath the seat or in an approved overhead compartment; or when an additional seat is reserved for an infant, a ticket is purchased and the restraint system can be properly secured with the seat belt.
The infant may not be secured in the restraint system during ground movement, takeoff, landing or any other time when the "Fasten Seat Belt" sign is on, unless such restraint system is government approved

Required Documents for International Travel

If the child is traveling with only one parent, it is a requirement in many countries to have a letter of consent from the absent parent. If the child is traveling alone, a letter of consent signed by both parents is required. Mexico, among other countries, will deny entry to a minor if the letter of consent is not present. A letter of consent is recommended for travel with children to any country.

Domestic Baggage Allowance - Travel within the U.S. to/from Canada and the Virgin Islands

For each ticketed customer, US Airways will transport free of charge a maximum of three bags:

Up to two (2) bags may be checked free of charge
One (1) bag may be transported as carry-on

Note: T he Transportation Security Administration advises -- For your security, The TSA is screening all checked baggage. Unlocked bags can be examined quickly. Locked bags will be opened if necessary, then resealed. That process could result in delay or damage. You can find further information on the TSA website: www.TSATravelTips.us .

Each piece of baggage to be checked without charge cannot exceed a weight of 50 pounds and dimensions of 62 inches, in overall length, width and height.

An extra charge applies for additional, overweight, and/or oversized pieces. In no event will US Airways accept baggage that weighs more than 100 pounds and/or baggage that measures in single dimensions more than 72 inches or combined dimensions exceeding 115 inches. Special items such as pets, surfboards, bicycles, scuba equipment, etc. are not included in the customer's free baggage allowance and are subject to an extra charge.

Note: If the itinerary includes a codeshare flight operated by United, check with the originating carrier regarding excess baggage policies and fees. Fee charges will be applied for each one-way journey from your origination to the final destination. Additionally, US Airways does not check pets on itineraries involving more than one airline, including our codeshare or Star Alliance partners. Pets will be checked only to the point of connection with the other carrier and must be claimed and re-checked at that point. Each carrier's fee will be applied.

Carry-on baggage is limited to one piece per customer, plus a personal item such as a purse, briefcase, laptop, small backpack, diaper bag or camera case. The personal item cannot exceed total overall dimensions of 36 inches, and the other item of baggage cannot exceed the following maximum dimensions:

Valet Closet--45L x 23 1/2W x 4H
Overhead Stowage--24L x 16W x 10H
Underseat Stowage--21L x 16W x 8H

Both items cannot exceed a total combined weight of 40 pounds. Carry-on baggage allowance may be restricted due to lack of space.

Note: International customers are subject to different free baggage allowances and excess charges, depending on destination. Information is available from US Airways agents.
