US Airways Refunds

Voluntary Refunds: Refunds are available only for the refundable tickets. If no portion of the ticket has been used, the refunds will be equal to the paid amount (after deducting the applicable fees). However, if some portion of the ticket has been used, then the amount to be refunded is remaining value minus the ticketing fee.

Involuntary Refunds: When the US Airways is not able to provide seating to a previously confirmed seat and is not in a position to reroute the passenger over its own network or over the network of other airlines, then the refunds will be:

a) If no portion of the ticket has been used, full amount to be refunded after deducting the applicable fees.

b) If a portion of the ticket has been used, amount of refund will be equal to lowest applicable one-way fare (50% of published roundtrip fares).

In case there is a delay, cancellation or diversion of the flight, US Airways shall update passengers with the current situation present onboard or at the airport.

Denied Boarding: In case of denied boarding, the US Airways will request passengers to leave their seats voluntarily in exchange for compensation (monetary or travel credit).  However, if there are not enough volunteers, boarding is allowed as per the laid down rules of boarding priorities. Preference is given to the Dividend Miles members depending on their status and time of check-in. For the people who have been denied boarding the carrier will make efforts to fly them on the next flight of its own, or, in the event that it is not available, on another carrier with which US Airways has an agreement.
