[Airlineguy29]

good ole America West......

[lewezy]

fast

[simpsonstewie]

when i went to cancun we went through a terminal. when we departed we went through same jetway as arrival. so can someone illegally get in because if you walk backwards towards the checkin instead of the customs?????

America West is my favorite airline of all time!

[simpsonstewie]

is it america west of southwest that tells you not to pack like a hog.

[UsAirSUCKS]

what do you mean?

[simpsonstewie]

the tags they give you to put on your bags.

i havent been on america west long time. i usually fly continental

[UsAirSUCKS]

oh, I believe that was America West.

[simpsonstewie]

anyways continental has newer planes.

[UsAirSUCKS]

They do?

[simpsonstewie]

well they have only 737-600 and up and they are one of the launch customers for the 787s. and they keep ranting about how to save fuel so they can buy new planes.

[UsAirSUCKS]

oh, cool! I didn't know they had 737-600s :O

[simpsonstewie]

basically they are just tryinging to phase out the oldest airplanes in their fleet. the oldest is 737-300 which will be replaced. they are weired if you ask me. but i like new planes. a majority of their fleet is 737-800

Cancun Airport has jetways. When I flew on America West back in 2005, my flight parked at a gate. You probably had to use air stairs because all other gates were occupied at the time.

[rattleman123456]

Yes, I parked at a gate on arrival, but the four times I've been here I've never been on a departing flight that has a jetway.

[cactus743]

Hmm. Interesting. Perhaps you had a departing flight where it was considered to be peak (busy) around that time. When I departed Cancun, my flight was in the morning at 8 a.m. I guess there wasn't much traffic at that time.

Cancun Airport DOES have jetways
