Flying from: Philadelphia PHL to Seattle, 14 October 2002
Class: Domestic First
Meal type: Dinner (transcontinental) - Salad, bread (3 choices), entree (chicken and steak shown), marbled cheesecake
Drink: Parducci or R.H. Phillips red
Comments: "Disaster: caterers apparently spilled the appetiser so none was offered. No menus loaded either. Salad was with choice of ranch or vinaigrette, entree
was turbot (not shown), stuff chicken breast with julienned carrots and mash, or steak with pepper sauce, french beans and mash. Main courses are not pre-plated. Cheesecake was a bit soft/airey/spongey and on the light side (preferred by my companion)."

Meal type: Breakfast - Fruit plate, main + pastries
Drink: Finlandia Vodka and O.J.
Comments: Fruit plate ("Morning Fruit Medley") was decent, 2 pineapple slices, 4 orange slices + 4 strawberry halves. Selection of croissant or muffin with butter + Dickenson strawberry jam. "Denver Western Omelet with salsa, sausage, roasted potato slices and sweet pepper julienne": Sausages were excellent and non-greasy. Omelet excellent though plain and unfilled.

Flying from: Charlotte to Tampa, 12 October 2002
Class: First
Meal type: Special Order "Seafood" - Tuna fish salad, cookie, tomatoes, mustard, all on plastic tray, no linens
Drink: Parducci Chardonnay
Comments: "I was very surprised on the downhill spiral of US Airways special meals. In recent months, a special order seafood was either a cold shrimp plate or sliced smoked salmon. As for this meal, it’s anyone’s guess what the mustard is for. The tuna fish salad reminded me of past elementary school cafeteria lunches."

Meal type: Snack - Pretzels
Drink: Apple juice
Comments: "Despite the fact that I paid for a full fare seat for my two year old daughter to sit in by herself, she was not offered any food (I gave her my bag). Stewardess did not hear my request for second bag. So, my rating of 5 is an average of "10" for crisp pretzels and "zero" for no service."

Flying from: Aruba to Philadelphia, 17 September 2002
Class: Coach
Meal type: Dinner - Salad, bun, chicken w/rice, cookies
Drink: Cranberry "juice"
Comments: "US Air continues to disappoint. Everyone knows that you won't get anything decent in the back cabin on most of their brief point to point flights around the East Coast, but I certainly expected something a bit better and more substantial on a 4 1/2 hour non-stop to an exclusive vacation destination. Chicken was dry, rice unseasoned, salad iceberg, bread so hard it should have been confiscated as a potential weapon. The cookies were the best part and that was because they were manufactured with plenty of preservatives."

Class: First
Meal type: Dinner - chicken linguine pasta salad w/portabello(?) mushrooms and greens, chocolate cheesecake for dessert
Drink: Agua
Comments: "Chicken and pasta were cold, since it was technically a salad, but it probably would've been tastier as a hot dish. Good light meal for a late flight though. The cheesecake was delicious; ask for seconds if possible. ;)"

Meal type: Dinner - Mixed greens salad. Cheese Lasagna.
Drink: Tanqueray & Tonic
Comments: "Hot meal was a nice surprise on 3 hour flight. Croutons on salad were soggy :( Lasagna was quite flavorful. Roll was pretty good. Meal wasn't extravagent like transcon flights, but it was filling and pretty tasty. I especially liked how the flight attendant served my meal with the drink on the tray."

Class: Economy
Meal type: Dinner - Iceburg lettuce salad with tomato, beef tips in black bean sauce with rice pilaf, and a Walker butter cookie.
Drink: Coke
Comments: "Meal was definitely worse than what was being served up front. Salad dressing came in small ketchup-style packet and was hot - yuck! Salad was fresh, but minimal. Rice was acceptable, as was the beef; however, I'll probably try the pasta option next month."

Class: First
Meal type: Dinner - Dessert consisted of chocolate swirl cheesecake and fresh, hot coffee.
Drink: Red wine and coffee.
Comments: "First class meal on USAirways is far superior to their coach meals. Big meals like this only served on transcon flights... meal was surprisingly good. We actually were given a nice little menu with salad choices and three different entrees (chicken, beef, or turbot stuffed with salmon). As another person said on the website, USAirways still doesn't skimp up front. Flight attendants kept my wine and coffee filled as often as I wanted."

Flying from: Pittsburgh PIT to Dallas DFW
Class: Coach
Meal type: Breakfast
Comments: "This "Aladdin tray" is a stackable vaacuum thing that keeps the food hot on board till its served. The bottom of the tray is like an air pocket. Most US carriers no longer serve any food on routes less than 3 hrs, so this was a big treat."

Flying from: Los Angeles to Baltimore, Sept 26, 2001
Class: first class
Meal type: multi course lunch - Photo shows appetizer and salad course. Appetizer is smoked salmon with cucumber and tomato slices, garnished with sweet onions. Salad topped with creamy italian dressing and parmesan cheese shavings. Bottom left shows ramekin with heated assorted nuts served during cocktails.
Comments: US Air provides an extraordinary service in the front cabin during U.S. coast to coast flights. With limited galley space on their 757s, they still are able to offer a top notch multi course main meal. Both Baltimore and Los Angeles food, meal, catering was excellent, close to restaurant quality.
