US Airways is making international travel more comfortable and convenient with several in-flight enhancements starting this spring and summer.
Beginning 1 May 2013, passengers traveling in the Economy cabin will receive complimentary headsets and complimentary wine with their main meal on flights to and from Europe, the Middle East and South America. Earlier this month, the airline also expanded DineFresh, its premium chilled meal option paired with wine that has been available on trans-Atlantic flights departing its hubs at Philadelphia and Charlotte, N.C. since last August, to select trans-Atlantic flights headed to Philadelphia and Charlotte. DineFresh meals are priced at $21.99 and must be pre-ordered at least 24 hours prior to departure.
Come July this year, US Airways will introduce new amenity kits in Envoy, its international business class. The airline has teamed up with Red Flower, a New York-based, eco-friendly beauty and lifestyle brand, to offer passengers traveling in Envoy a soft classic jute-lined bag filled with delicately scented botanical products including Ocean moisturizing body lotion, Italian Blood Orange lip balm and an Italian Blood Orange facial towelette with whole essential oils of pink grapefruit and blood orange which provide an instant boost and a sense of invigoration. In addition to the new Red Flower offerings, the amenity kit will contain socks, eyeshades, earplugs, tissues, a pen, toothbrush, toothpaste and mouthwash to ensure that customers traveling in Envoy arrive at their destination relaxed, refreshed and ready to do business.
The enhancements in Envoy and economy follow a multi-million dollar investment in upgrades to US Airways’ domestic First Class service and the addition of Gogo inflight internet on more than 90 percent of the US Airways fleet. On April 1, the airline began offering customers in First Class a choice of snacks in addition to their meal on long-haul flights and a continental-style breakfast on the go that includes a yogurt smoothie, croissant, almond butter, jam and a mint on overnight long-haul flights.
