US Airways, which recently merged with America West, is trying to reinvent itself as a rival to low-cost airlines like Southwest and JetBlue.
Round-trip fare between Charlotte-Douglas International Airport and Hartford, Conn., was cut by 54 percent to $ 198. Flying to and from Syracuse, N.Y., was reduced by 52 percent to $ 198.
Other cities connecting to Charlotte with lowered fares are Columbus, Ohio; Dayton, Ohio; Huntington, W.Va.; Huntsville, Ala.; Nashville, Tenn.; and Seattle.
Tempe, Ariz.-based America West bought US Airways in September in a $ 1.5 billion deal. The merger allowed US Airways to emerge from bankruptcy.
