US Airways said:Exempt from 1st and 2nd checked bag fee
Overweight/oversize fees may still apply (see overweight/oversize tab)
*Active U.S. military personnel policy effective June 10, 2011.
- All Dividend Miles Preferred members
- Confirmed First Class and Envoy passengers
- Active U.S. military on personal travel*
Military personnel who are on active duty status or who have been discharged within seven days qualify for free baggage allowance. Military personnel may check 3 bags free of charge which can exceed 62 inches/157 cm in dimensions (but less than 81 inches/206 cm) and weighs 100 pounds/46 kg or less.
Special rates are not available to personnel on temporary duty orders traveling to or from their temporary duty station. For more information about Military Leave travel, call US Airways at 800-428-4322.
The military passenger must carry valid active duty identification or separation papers.
It isn't like they are going on vacation . . . or are they . . . hmmmmm.
I only fly Southwest....not because of the latest negative press for US Airways, Delta etc, but because I find the people in those airlines to be very hard to enjoy the company of. You would think companies that have declared bankruptcy multiple times would figure out the customer relations end of things....but you would be wrong.
