The flight departed from Philadelphia International Airport at 10:36 a.m. Friday.
The Airbus A321 will make scheduled stops in Charlotte, Phoenix and San Francisco before returning as a red-eye flight back to Philadelphia on Saturday.
All future flights will fly under the American Airlines banner, following the completion of a merger announced in 2013.
US Airways was formed in Pittsburgh as All American Aviation. It later operated as Allegheny Airlines before becoming US Airways.
