July 19th, Orlando Int'l Airport:
I arrived at Orlando Int'l Airport at about 5:00 pm, About to check-in for my America West Flight to Las Vegas, Then connecting to Phoenix. The weather in Orlando was terrible!!!!! It was one of the worst electrical storms I've ever seen. Tons of flights were delayed, and My flight was cancelled not because of weather, But of mechanical problems on the America West 757. America West sent me to the TWA counter, and TWA booked me out at 6:20 the next morning. That night I stayed at MCO's Awesome Hyatt Hotel, and got up the next morning for my flight.

McDonnel Douglas MD-80
Very Very Very clean aircraft!!!!! The best MD-80 I have ever flown on!!! The flight was very smooth, and the F/A's were some of the nicest I've ever seen. I give the Aircraft, Pilot, and F/A's an A+

America West FL 564
Phoenix (PHX) - Las Vegas (LAS)
Airbus 320
For an airline that I dont care for, They were ok. The aircraft was dirty, and the seats were hard on my back, and the aircraft shakes like hell on laning. But It was ok. The best thing about the flight was their was a really sexy Female F/A, and that made the flight more enjoyable.

In conclusion, I think TWA is finally headed in the right direction, and I will fly them anyday!!! In my opinion they rival Delta in several different categories.
As for America West, They are ok, But they need a lot of work to become a great airline like TWA, But we all know what Continental did, So its possible.

About the best trip report i've seen on here...brief, and very well organized! I'm not a big fan for 80 lines of every little minute/detail of the flight.

Seems like you found what us TWA die hards have been preaching for quite a while.
I liked TWA so much I invested in it it's stock. I expect that as more people continue to find the new TWA they will find similar experiences!
There are numerous interesting threads on TWA you can find with the Search feature.
