This is a short report on my last flight of the trip… there was not much to cover but I thought I would share my experience with US Airways during a late night flight.
Upon arrival in Charlotte we were greeted with the usual long lines for customs and immigration. The lines were very long and we hoped we were not going to miss out flight with the short connection time! After clearing customs it was back through security and to our departure gate. Boarding commenced almost immediately and I took my seat in row 20.

Boarding took longer than expected and we pushed back from the gate a few minutes late
The weather in Charlotte was awful with rain and wind delaying flights! There was a long line for departure.
Finally it was our turn to take off about 35 minutes late!
Once we reached cruising altitude the seatbelt sigh was kept on as it was a turbulent flight. Most of the passengers fell asleep and there was no beverage service! Flight attendant's passed through the aisles and asked awake passengers if they would like a water or another beverage.
Less than an hour after takeoff it was time to descend into Newark
We landed at Newark at 12:05am
We taxied to our gate at the A terminal and parked at the gate approximately 45 minutes late after a flight time of 1 hour and 10 minutes.

Upon walking to the baggage claim I quickly took a picture of the US Airways Express Dash 8 heading to Philadelphia in the early morning.
Here is the video trip report of the flight! I combined the flight from St. Kitts to Charlotte and the flight from Charlotte to Newark so this flight is featured in the second half of the video:

Conclusion
US Airways provided satisfactory service on this short late night trip. As most of the passengers were sleeping, the flight attendants turned off the lights to allow passengers to sleep. There was no beverage service with carts in the aisles, but rather the crew asked awake passengers if they would like a beverage. There was no entertainment or snacks provided on this short flight! This was the only option for returning to Newark late at night and I would consider taking the service again!
