US Airways is teh suck

US Airways has horrible service. We had a nightmare of a canceled flight. The pilot announced it was a problem they've "never experienced before" and didn't know what to call it or explain what was wrong. I'm glad we didn't take off, but there is no reason for US Airways to keep the passengers onboard on the tarmac for 5 hours. FIVE HOURS. The stewardesses were rude and unprofessional. They also didn't serve us. We had to walk to the rear of the airplane to get any refreshments. No food was served. The AC was off sometime because of testing the mechanical issue. They opened the doors once or twice, but they closed them.

We all had to get different flights out of Italy, and most of us didn't get any upgrades or free flights. We were also promised a hotel room in Milan (where eight others and myself went), but there was no US Airways employee to help us when we arrived at the airport via train. We ended up sleeping on marble floors with no blankets or pillows. I will never again fly US Airways voluntarily on an international flight, EVER.


Younger Demographic Italy Marketing Video

The final cut for the marketing video for my class. The video footage is not in chronological order like the older demographic video. Feel free to leave comments!

Marketing Video - Rough "Final" cut

Originally this was going to be my project video for our trip to Italy, but decided it could be better with less "young people" and more architecture or slowed down scenes, in order to be more favorable by the target demographic. I'll probably redo this video and make it longer with a song by The Strokes or something, and leave Magical Mystery Tour as the song for the project. Hopefully the Beatles won't sue me...

"Last Day" in Rome

Friday was supposed to be our free day to do whatever we chose, with our flight going out Saturday morning. Well our plane was screwed up mechanically so we ended up taking different flights. US Airways sucks. Don't flight them internationally.
