US Airways is the first airline to implement technology to offer
on-demand flight status and frequent flyer registration via Text Message.
If a customer wants to check the status of their flight, they simply text
their flight number to TEXTUS (839887) and US Airways will text back with
real-time flight information, including arrival, departure times and gate
information. This is a particularly useful tool for travelers with
connecting flights to stay informed and on schedule.
Customers who want to enroll in the award winning Dividend Miles
program can do so by texting their name, email address and zip code to
TEXTUS (839887). For those customers enrolling at the airport, they have
the advantage of automatically receiving miles for the flight that same
day.
"Through our innovative text program, US Airways has found another way
to utilize technology for increased customer service. Travelers who are in
the need of real-time information will benefit from the convenience and
timeliness of text messaging, even right from the plane before takeoff or
upon landing," said Travis Christ, vice president, sales and marketing for
US Airways. "Also, by giving our customers the ability to sign up for
Dividend Miles through their cell phones, our loyalty program can be
instantly rewarding."
Enrolling in US Airways Dividend Miles program is easy:

with spaces to TEXTUS (839887)
