$25 Airtran Coupon Giveaway

[dioxide45]

I can't get the same price listed on Kayak.com as Airtran site..? am I doing this wrong? Thanks!

Kayak's prices include certain fees and taxes that are not in the prices you see when you search AirTran. Once you click through the prices will match.

Ok, I must be a moron cause I'm confused. Are you all just requesting the coupons be sent to the same e-mail address, and that is working out ok? I just noticed that they are having a great sale, and while I received 1 coupon I would like 7 more.

 

[VroomVroomLightning]

Nope! We are having them sent to different emails. So if you need 7 more you will need to send them to 7 different emails. Some people created email accounts so they could them!

I just booked the flights for my birthday trip in October using the coupons.

I also found that AT lowered our return flight by another $10!

So, booking the two legs separately, I am paying a grand total of $69.20!

The return flight is not ideal, but it will work for the $29 I paid for it. I am not particularly relishing the thought of a 10:40am flight, but maybe I will get a little pixie dust and they will move it about 3 hours later. I could have flown home on NWA, but it would have added $40 to my cost. Plus, I have A+ credits that I can use to upgrade to BC for both legs of the trip.

For those of you wodering about if the coupons can be used to pay for luggage fees at the airport, I posted another thread specific to this question and I finally got an answer to it. The answer is no. Here is a link to the thread, read post #10

I am very sad , but relieved to finally have an answer.

Yea sorry gang. Tried to use mine for luggage fees at the Philly airport and they would not let me use them. I will try again just in case on my way back.

Thx for letting us know - I'll stick to using it for counter upgrades. Know it works for that.

Maybe a dumb question, but what does a counter upgrade mean?

Just bumping.....

This is when you checkin and upgrade to business class for a set fee. See this link. You can actually upgrade online when you checkin or at the counter.

I'm planning on trying to do this for my return flight on my upcoming trip. It's a non-stop flight and qualifies as mid-range. I'll checkin at exactly the 24 hour mark and hope for availability

I've never flown BC before but, I'm checking 2 bags. That will cost me $40. The BC upgrade is $69. If you upgrade to BC, you don't have to pay for your first two checked bags, right? So, the way I look at it - for $29, I can fly in relative comfort and enjoy a Bloody Mary (or two) to boot.

Now, if I can use one of these coupons, that would be an added bonus and the BC upgrade would cost me a net of $4. Heck, I'll eat and drink more than $4 worth!

Hmmm this has me thinking..lol..I am claustrophobic...First time flying...More room might make it a little easier on me. I might have to try this Business Class thing!

This is how I believe it works. Though over on FlyerTalk it has been mentioned that you can actually upgrade using the set fee at 12:01 am the day before your flight, not right at the 24 hour mark. Haven't tried it myself though and you would have to call to do this.

Do you like my "fuzzy" math?

It's my way of justifying spoiling myself just a little bit. Now, if I had a layover it Atlanta (like I do on my trip down), I don't think it would make as much sense.

Does anyone know...if you have a layover, do you have to upgrade both legs @ $49 each? Or, can you upgrade just one leg and still take advantage of them waiving the fee for checked luggage?

If you want to upgrade both legs it would be the two fees. You can upgrade just one but you can't do that online from what I have read, you would have to call or do the upgrade at the airport checkin counter. If you have business class on the first leg, then the fee would be waived I would think, not 100% sure though.

 

[mommyoftwinfants]

Unless you use a voucher then it would be only 4+ credits (one voucher) for both legs.

That would be awesome if I could check in before the 24 hour mark. Flight takes off at 8:00 on a Saturday. At 8:00 on Friday, I had hoped to be on my way to the Magic Kingdome for the Morning Celebration. I will definitely try to check in earlier.

I may also have to try upgrading for the first leg on the way down. If I can do that AND they will waive the baggage fees, my "fuzzy" math tells me it would only cost an extra $9. My flight down takes off at 5:50 a.m. and I would love to catch a nap between the Quad Cities and Atlanta.
