there is no regular blood monitoring and no known dietary strictions. treatment with xarelto . ...was the right move for us. ask your doctor about xarelto . the final u.s. airways flight took off from 'til philadelphia today. the airlines have combined their frequent flyer programs. they are now merging schedules, pricing and baggage. there will be extra staff working this weekend. >> it is like doing a simultaneous heart and brain transplant. if it goes wrong, passengers are going to be angry and american airlines does not want angry passengers. >> they are going to catch whatever glitches they have. so by the time the real hit comes monday they will be ready. experts say passengers flying this weekend should print their reservation and boarding pass and get to the airport early.
