can be customized to meet their needs. Links to preferred hotel and car
rental vendors can be included. The company can choose to have travel
booked exclusively through its travel manager or by individual travelers.
Payment options include “Ghost Card” capability that allows bookings in
which corporate credit card numbers are not displayed to the individual
traveler.

days a week. Additional services and feature enhancements may be added to

America West’s revolutionary fare structure features business-friendly
fares on every flight, every day. The airline’s wide array of business
amenities include advance seat assignments, flexible ticketing policies
and an award-winning frequent flyer program called FlightFund, which
offers elite members a wide range of benefits such as priority check-in,
early boarding, mileage bonuses and the opportunity for award travel to
more than 300 destinations on five continents. All America West Airlines
mainline aircraft feature first class cabins, allowing customers to take
advantage of the airline’s newly announced First Rate fares, which are 40
to 70 percent lower than other airlines’ traditional first class fares.

America West Airlines is the nation’s second largest low-fare airline and
the only carrier formed since deregulation to achieve major airline
status. America West’s 13,000 employees serve nearly 55,000 customers a
day in 93 destinations in the U.S., Canada, Mexico and Costa Rica.
