Bad news from US Airways for those of us seeking cheap flights to Vegas. This may just be the beginning of a number of cuts from most airlines due to the massive increase in fuel prices the past few months.
“Effective this fall, US Airways plans to reduce flight capacity between 6 percent and 8 percent compared with 2007. Much of the reductions will come from US Airways’ cutbacks in Las Vegas, where the airline is all but ending night flights. Daily departures will be roughly halved, from 141 last September to 74 by year’s end.”
