America West Airlines (NYSE: AWA) announces a new airport club option, the Hub Club membership. Hub Club members have access to all five America West Club locations, including three in Phoenix, one in Las Vegas and one in Columbus, Ohio.

“This new product extension is just one more way America West is working to provide flexible and affordable alternatives for our customers,” said Ken Feldman, vice president, marketing. A one-year Hub Club membership costs $300, compared to $400 for a Standard Club membership. Either club product can be purchased for one-year or three-year terms. FlightFund Elite members can save $75 off the one-year individual rates.

In addition to annual memberships, America West also offers The America West Club Passbook. The Passbook allows customers to enjoy all the benefits of the club or share them with their friends and associates. The America West Passbook can be purchased in quantities of two one-time visits for $50, five for $100 or 12 for $200. Passes are accepted at all five America West Club locations. To join the club or order an America West Club Passbook, customers can log on to www.americawest.com/club , call 1-800-406-6501 or stop by any America West Club location.

The America West Club offers business amenities, travel assistance and complimentary snacks and beverages. The club is a place to relax or work before, between or after flights. The standard America West Club membership provides access to over 20 locations through partnership agreements with Northwest Airlines and EVA Airways.

Founded in 1983 and proudly celebrating its 20-year anniversary in 2003, America West Airlines is the nation`s second largest low-fare airline and the only carrier formed since deregulation to achieve major airline status. Today, America West serves 92 destinations in the U.S., Canada and Mexico.
