US Airways Rolls Out More New Low GoFares

US Airways today
announced two new GoFares(R) markets for Washington, D.C., area customers,
offering simplified fares as low as $89* each way, available immediately,
to and from Syracuse, N.Y., and Nashville. This further expands US
Airways’ role as the largest low-fare carrier at Ronald Reagan Washington
National Airport. US Airways’ Washington-Syracuse GoFares start as low as $89* each way in
Coach, with last minute fares as low as $139* each way.
Washington-Nashville GoFares begin at $99* each way, with last minute
fares available as low as $159* each way. The lowest fares for both
Syracuse and Nashville require an advance purchase.

US Airways first introduced Washington GoFares on June 18, 2004, making
them available on 22 initial routes. Washington GoFares are simple, with
no Coach fare ever more than $499* each way, and no Saturday-night stay
requirement.

“We’ve heard positive feedback from our customers about GoFares, and we
are pleased to continue their expansion into Nashville and Syracuse, both
of which we serve nonstop from Reagan National,” said B. Ben Baldanza, US
Airways senior vice president of marketing and revenue management.
“Whether you’re flying for business or pleasure, GoFares make low-fare
travel simpler and more convenient than ever.”

Additionally, Seth, the GoFares guy, will be on the streets of Washington
Thursday celebrating the addition of Syracuse and Nashville GoFares. He
will be handing out special gifts that are representative of these two new
GoFares markets, including country music CDs.

Customers flying US Airways also enjoy many benefits not always offered by
low fare alternatives, including:
