Less US Airways Flights Planned for McCarran

While there's been the recent arrival of British Airway into Las Vegas and a sweet $25 fare sale from Southwest for flights from Los Angeles, it's not all rosy at McCarran Airport..

US Airways announced that it would essentially halve its flights into and out of Sin City, even from the all-important Southern California market. The Las Vegas Sun reports:

By the end of December, the airline will end nonstop round trips between Las Vegas and Detroit; Minneapolis; Seattle; Sacramento and San Jose, Calif.; and the Canadian cities of Edmonton, Alberta; Vancouver, British Columbia; and Toronto.

At the end of January, flights between Las Vegas and San Diego will be cut.

And, at the end of February, service will end between Las Vegas and Fort Lauderdale and Orlando, Fla.; Orange County, Calif.; and Chicago’s O’Hare International Airport.

Ugh, even worse, US Airways will also cut about 880 Las Vegas jobs too. Previously this year, they closed the US Airways lounge at McCarran which also saw 600 jobs vanish into thin air.

Well, fine then. We didn't want to pay your stinking $7 fee for pillows anyways. We'll happily fly Southwest, Virgin America, American or even Continental instead.
