Security
US Airways and the nation’s airports are working together with the U.S. Department of Homeland Security, the TSA, and other federal and local law enforcement agencies to implement security measures to keep all passengers and crewmembers safe.

Be aware of the activities around you. Any suspicious activity should be immediately reported to an airline representative or law enforcement personnel.

Permitted and Prohibited Items
and Security Wait Times
The TSA has listed items that may be taken through the security checkpoint. If you are unsure about a particular item, see a complete list of permitted and prohibited items at tsa.gov. On the TSA Web site you can view security checkpoint wait times and other useful information. You can also check the US Airways Web site at usairways.com for security-related travel tips.

Hazardous Materials
Many common items used in the home or workplace might seem harmless. However, when transported by air they can be dangerous and are prohibited. During flight, variations in temperature and pressure can cause items to leak, generate toxic fumes, or even start a fire. Federal law prohibits the carriage of hazardous materials aboard aircraft.

Explosives, compressed gases, flammable liquids and solids, oxidizers, poisons, corrosives, and radioactive material are hazardous and prohibited. Some examples include paints, lighter fluids, fireworks, tear gas, oxygen bottles, and pepper spray. If you are unsure whether the item you want to pack in your luggage is hazardous, please contact US Airways at 800-428-4322.

electronic equipment
Please do not use portable televisions, radio transmitters, or remote control toys inside the aircraft.

Other portable electronic devices may be used except during taxi, takeoff, and landing, when they must be turned off and properly stowed. In consideration and as a courtesy to all of our customers, we request that headsets are used for all audible electronic devices.

In addition, cellular phones may be used while the aircraft is parked at the gate, and after landing while taxiing to the gate, as advised by the flight crew. They must be turned off and stowed at all other times.

SEAT BELTS
Please keep your seat belt fastened at all times while seated, even if the captain turns off the “fasten seat belt” sign.

Alcoholic Beverages
Per FAA regulations, no person may be permitted to board an aircraft if they appear to be intoxicated. Alcohol may not be consumed onboard unless provided and served by a crewmember. All onboard, alcohol-related disturbances will be reported to the FAA for possible investigation.

SMOKING
Smoking is prohibited on all US Airways flights.

Baggage:
Domestic and International Flights
Please visit our Web site at usairways.com, or contact US Airways Reservations at 800-428-4322 for weight, size, and any international-travel restrictions.

Carry-on baggage, limited to one piece of luggage and one personal item (purse, briefcase, laptop, or infant bag), must not exceed 51 linear inches (45 linear inches for US Airways Express flights) and is subject to space availability and government limitations, and must fit either under a seat or
in an overhead bin, and must be properly stowed before the cabin door is closed. Heavy carry-on items such as laptops may not be placed in the seat-back pockets; these pockets are designed to hold lightweight material.

Wheelchairs, strollers, and child car seats will be checked at the gate using a “special handling” tag.
