Dear Members,

...from the latest issue of US News NOW! April 27, 2007
(Print out a CHEAT SHEET below)

 

AUTOMATED LISTINGS ARE BACK--CHECK OUT THE NEW EMPLOYEE TRAVEL LINE!

In addition to the Employee Travel Center (ETC), US Airways employees, their dependents and retirees have an alternative way to book non-rev space available travel. The new Employee Travel Line (ETL) at 800-325-9999 now allows listings to be made electronically.

Prior to Res migration, America West employees were able to call the Pass Line and speak with an agent to check passenger boarding totals (PBTs). US Airways employees had the IVR- a phone number that allowed for listings to be made electronically.

In this first phase of the ETL, listing is easy. The ETL (800-325-9999) allows you to:

  • check loads
  • list for fee waived domestic flights for you and those listed in your travel profile (this does not include parent's or parent in laws)

 

Print out this Eline and cut out this CHEAT SHEET!

 

To access the EMPLOYEE TRAVEL LINE (ETL), dial 800-325-9999 and select option 1. Selecting option 2 at this time will send you to an agent to book parents and international travel.

 

1) Enter employee ID number and press the pound (#) key. If ID number is less than 6 digits, enter enough leading zero’s to create six digits.

 

2) Enter company code substituting numbers for letters on the phone keypad. For US Airways (US), enter 87. Select option 1 for US Airways. Then select option 1 to continue for the non-rev space available travel menu.
