US Airways restores mileage awards
Last Modified: Friday, November 21, 2008 at 5:26 a.m.
Following an outcry from frequent fliers, US Airways has brought back mileage-award perks for regular customers -- a rare reversal in this era of more fees and fewer benefits for travelers.
The airline said Thursday morning that it is restoring bonus miles and minimum mileage awards for frequent fliers. Even better for road warriors: The changes will be retroactive.
In February, US Airways became the first major airline to stop giving frequent fliers a minimum of 500 miles for short flights. In June, it dropped bonus miles awards, costing those at the highest level of the airline's program half the miles they would have gotten without the change.
