Used USAir for our Dec. 2004 trip. Had a great flight into Orlando. We arrived at MCO for our flight home and the counter agent immediately let us know that our flight was going to be delayed significantly and offered to rebook us. Our new flight took off a 1/2 hour earlier, but the airline was very accommodating. Our connection out of DC was a whole other story. That night, ALL airlines were experiencing weather-related problems...and DC airports literally shut down at 8pm. We hadn't eaten since early that afternoon, since we'd planned on grabbing something at MCO, but there was no where to eat at Dulles. Thousands of stranded passengers from all over and not one gift shop, bar, etc. was open.

This is all by way of saying that we will be booking USAir for our next trip if their price is comparable, but always remember that there are things out of the airline's control that can snag your plans.
