TEMPE, Ariz., Oct. 23 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- US Airways (NYSE: LCC)
is relaxing certain fees for customers who may have to change travel plans
as a result of the Southern California wildfires.

The airline is offering the following revised policies, which apply to
all customers flying Oct. 22 through Oct. 26 on any US Airways or US
Airways codeshare flight to or from the following airports in Southern
California: Santa Barbara, Burbank, Los Angeles International (LAX), Long
Beach, Ontario, Santa Ana/Orange County, Carlsbad and San Diego.
Customers are strongly encouraged to check flight status at
usairways.com or by calling 800-428-4322 before arriving at the airport and
to allow plenty of driving time to the airport.
If US Airways service continues to operate to the affected
destinations, you can make certain changes without incurring the standard
change fee, advance reservation or ticketing requirements:
-- The entire itinerary can be moved forward or delayed up to seven days
from the scheduled origination date. Length of trip cannot be changed.
-- Full value of wholly unused tickets can be applied toward the purchase
of a fare to an alternate destination. Travel must originate within
seven days of the scheduled origination date.
Customers traveling on certain tickets -- such as some available from
third-party ticket discounters, including but not limited to discount
travel websites -- may not have all elements of the policy available to
them. Tickets issued by US Airways for travel on airlines other than US
Airways, US Airways Shuttle or US Airways Express will follow the rules of
the airline operating the flight(s).
Itinerary changes are subject to availability, and in certain cases, an
additional collection fee. Customers will be able to stand by for alternate
flights without incurring the standby fee if a satisfactory alternate
itinerary cannot be confirmed. Additional information regarding these
amended ticketing policies can be found online at http://www.usairways.com
or by calling 800-428-4322.
