No free booze in coach? Well, US Airways, I hope your next international destination will be Saudi Arabia. If I want to travel from a USAirways city to Europe, then I will be taking Air France, Lufthansa, British, or any other European carrier, BUT UsAirways..

(UAWGQ), which filed for bankruptcy earlier this month, said on Tuesday that it has changed some of its fare policies and eliminated some amenities, like free paper tickets and alcoholic drinks, to cut costs. US Airways said it will no longer let passengers who buy nonrefundable tickets for many routes in North America and Europe use the value of an unused ticket as a credit toward the purchase of another one. "If you miss the event, your ticket isn't good for the next day," said B. Ben Baldanza, senior vice president of marketing at the airline. US Airways also said it will now charge $25 to each traveler who qualifies for an electronic ticket but chooses a paper ticket instead, and will stop serving free alcoholic drinks on Trans-Atlantic flights. To slash expenses, US Airways will also decrease its use of some of the channels it uses to market and sell tickets, including some online sites. ©2002 Reuters Limited. Yahoo!
