US Airways Philadelphia-Venice Flights

ABOVE: The US Airways Boeing 767-200ER carries 196 passengers nonstop between PHL and VCE.

On May 9, 2005, US Airways began daily nonstop service between Philadelphia and Venice. The seasonal service will run through October 28.

Transatlantic flights leave Philadelphia at 5:55 p.m., arriving at Venice Marco Polo Airport at 8:20 a.m. the next morning.

Return flights leave VCE at 11 a.m., arriving in PHL at 2:45 p.m. the same day.

Flights use Boeing 767-200ER aircraft with 173 seats in coach and 23 in Envoy Class.

Also this month, US Airways has resumed its seasonal summer service to Dublin, Glasgow, and Shannon, and it has added a new transatlantic route between Philadelphia and Barcelona. The airline also flies year-round to Ametsrdam, Frankfurt, London, Madrid, Manchester, Munich, Paris, and Rome from Philadelphia.

Star Alliance offers interchangeable frequent-flyer miles

US Airways is a member of the Star Alliance, which includes airlines such as Air Canada, Austrian Airlines, bmi (formerly British Midland), LOT Polish Airlines, Lufthansa, Scandinavian Airlines, Spanair, TAP Portugal, and United.

When you fly on an airline that belongs to an alliance, you can have frequent-flyer miles or points assigned to your preferred frequent-flyer program. For example, if you normally fly United, you can have your US Airways Philadelphia-Venice miles credited to your United Mileage Plus account.

Editor's notes:

I've flown US Airways through Philadelphia, and I can recommend the airport. (The white rocking chairs along the main concourse are a pleasant place to sit while killing time between flights.) US Airways' Envoy Class service is also a delight, although the seats aren't as luxurious as the "lie-flat" seats on some newer aircraft.

Delta Airlines also offers translantic service from the U.S.; daily flights leave New York's JFK in the evening, arriving in Venice the next morning. For details, check the flight planner at www.delta.com.
