US Airways Ticketing Fees

If you are making reservations with US Airways for travel arrangements, here are some facts you should be aware of.

If you go to the airport and make reservations, and a purchase your tickets at the ticket counter, you will be charged an extra $20.00 ticketing service fee for electronic ticketing. If you would like your tickets printed to paper you will have a $20 ticketing service fee PLUS a $50 paper ticket fee, totaling an extra $70.

Reservations by phone charge a $10 ticketing service fee for electronic ticketing. If you would like your tickets printed to paper and mailed, add your $10 ticketing service fee PLUS an extra $50 paper ticket fee, totaling $60.

If you make your reservations online, no ticketing service fees apply for electronic tickets. Tickets printed to paper and mailed will be an extra $50 ticketing service fee.

Exemptions for ticketing service fees include: tickets purchased with air checks, future travel awards, gift certificates, senior packs, and gift cards and their promotional coupons. Also, military/government fares, dividend miles chairman's members and their traveling companions, US Airways vacations, and groups. For additional information, please check US Airways.com or call 1-800-428-4322.

Additionally, Delta, Northwest and Continental Airlines, to name a few, have similar charges, please check with your carrier before making reservations.

So my 2 secrets are to avoid paper tickets and do your best to make your reservations online.

Happy Travels
