With the process of draining down the US Airways schedule, looking towards having only American Airlines flights starting October 17, there’s going to be some confusion over whose aircraft are you flying.
That’s relevant because American and US Airways aircraft have different interiors — different number of first class seats, different seats, seat power, and legroom. That’s about to start changing.

Yesterday I helped a work colleague with a cancelled flight. Their US Airways travel was cancelled, and leading up to the Labor Day weekend most options were sold out.

I very much look forward to Cuban modernizing.. for the sake of the Cuban people. Remember that however quaint walking back into the 1950s may be as a tourist, the people of Cuba have been forced to live without the benefit of many of the advances of technology that we too easily take for granted.
