Shopping on line can be easy, simple and save you lots of money. It can also take a lot of your time, frustrate you, and result in unwanted purchases. Now the same can be said for regular high street shopping, but with the vast opportunity presented by the Internet it will pay you to spend a few minutes reading this and understanding how to better optimize your Piedmont Airlines shopping experience:

1. Compare - without doubt the biggest advantage that the Piedmont Airlines offers shoppers today is the ability to compare thousands of Piedmont Airlines at a time. This is a great thing, but not necessarily all the time! Too much can be daunting at times so take advantage of the great comparison sites and where possible let them do the hard work for you.

2. Research - if it has been said it will be on the internet. Ignorance is no longer a justifiable reason for buying the wrong thing. Take the time to research in detail everything that you could possible want to know about

3. Testimonials - don't know anybody that has bought a Piedmont Airlines? Wrong! If the Piedmont Airlines is good the internet will let you know. Use the Internet as a friend and get testimonials before you buy.

4. Questions - Got a question about Piedmont Airlines then search the Forums, FAQ's, Blogs etc. Don't be afraid to ask .....

5. Reputation - Never heard of the company selling Piedmont Airlines? Don't worry, no reason why you should know every company in the world, but you know someone that does! Use the internet to find out what people are saying about Piedmont Airlines and build up a picture of their reputation for sales, returns, customer service, delivery etc.

6. Returns - still worried that even after all of the above your Piedmont Airlines wont be what you want? Check out the returns policy. There is so much competition now that someone, somewhere is bound to offer the terms that you are comfortable with.

7. Feedback - happy with your Piedmont Airlines then let people know, after all you are depending on others people input in your buying decision, so why not give a little back.

Washington National Airport|alliance=[Star Alliance ] operating for US Airways Express. It is a wholly owned subsidiary of the US Airways Group. Headquartered in Salisbury, Maryland, United States, it conducts flight operations using De Havilland Canada Dash 8 aircraft along the East Coast of the United States. Its main base is Wicomico Regional Airport, Salisbury, with hubs at Pittsburgh International Airport, Philadelphia International Airport, Charlotte/Douglas International Airport and Washington Dulles International Airport.

History The airline was formed in 1931 by Richard Henson as Henson Aviation, a fixed base operator in Hagerstown, Maryland. It began its first scheduled flights to Washington National Airport in 1962 under the Hagerstown Commuter name, later changed to Henson Airlines. Allegheny Airlines (now US Airways) and Henson began one of the world's first code sharing arrangements in 1967, and Henson re-branded itself as an Allegheny Commuter carrier using Beechcraft Model 99 aircraft. It initially developed a route structure serving Washington DC, Philadelphia and Baltimore while establishing a new headquarters for Allegheny Commuter at Salisbury, MD in 1968. in the 1970s, the airline upgraded to Shorts 330 and De Havilland Dash 7 turboprops.

In 1983, Piedmont Aviation bought Henson and re-branded the airline as "Henson, The Piedmont Regional Airline." Under Piedmont's control, the airline expanded rapidly, particularly in Florida. Both were purchased by the USAir Group in 1987 with Piedmont absorbed two years later and Henson's aircraft repainted in USAir Express livery Flight International 12-18 April 2005. The 1980s saw rapid growth by the company, first resulting the upgrade of its fleet to the De Havilland Canada Dash 8 aircraft, and an expansion in the fleet size. With the growth in pasenger capactity, the airline made a geographic expansion to Florida, including numerous intra-state routes in Florida, and it opened a maintenance facility in Jacksonville, FL.

The Piedmont name was resurrected in 1993, when USAir (now US Airways) renamed Henson to "Piedmont Airlines". This was done to protect the Piedmont brand name, which could be used by others if not exercised in trade use for a period of time. USAir continued this practice by changing the name of its two other wholly owned regional airline subsidiaries, Jetstream and Allegheny Commuter, to PSA Airlines and Allegheny Airlines, respectively. (Pacific Southwest Airlines was the name of a California-based airline merged into USAir.) In 1997, USAir was renamed US Airways, and Piedmont was likewise re-branded as a US Airways Express carrier. US Airways merged Allegheny Airlines into Piedmont in 2004.

The airline has 3,328 employees (at March 2007).

Fleet As of March 2007 the Piedmont Airlines fleet includes :{]|39|37||-|De Havilland Canada Dash 8|10|50||}
