Airways started in 1939 as
All-American Airways, delivering air-mail to Western Pennsylvania and the Ohio Valley. All-American Airways quickly grew into Allegheny Airlines, US Air and finally US Airways—now the fifth-largest domestic airline. Its vacation package division, US Airways Vacations, offers FIT packages to the Caribbean; Mexico; Las Vegas/Reno, Nev.; Arizona; California; Florida; Hawaii; Europe; and more.
US Airways Vacations’ main destinations are the Caribbean, Mexico and Las Vegas. Prices start at $90 per person for two-night, air-inclusive domestic packages; and in the low $300s per person for three-night, air-inclusive international packages. Most international packages include airport transfers.
For standard-priced packages, US Airways Vacations pays up to 12% commission on international packages booked via the Web/VAX/GDS. The company also offers “Commission Choice,” which builds a slight price increase into the already-low package prices. Travel agents choosing the “Commission Choice” option can earn up to 19% commission on packages to international destinations booked via the Web/VAX/GDS. For more information on commission rates and the travel agent incentives offered throughout the year, visit US Airways Vacations’ agent-only website, usvtravelagents.com, which features full booking capabilities.
