Air Tran November Schedule is up!

[jalaine]

Just booked 5 round trip tickets non-stop to MCO for a total of $957 including all taxes, fees, and reserved seat selection

I saw the rest of the November schedule was up yesterday, but the cheapest ticket was $378 one way Then I went on this morning and that same flight was only $79!!!!
Booked them right away!

I know I still have to pay for checked bags, but for us that's an extra $200 round trip and well worth it with the savings we get on the flight and the convenience of their schedule!

Do they still charge $6 per seat reservation?

It used to be (2 years ago when we last flew) that if you booked through kayak.com, the $6 per seat was waived. Does anyone know if this is still the case?

Yes 6 bux per seat each way.

We booked 5 for 1100 yesterday.

As soon as I saw RT's for 250 or less I was going to book, Jersey Week fares can get pricey.

The Kayak option is gone. Closed that one about a year ago.

We booked our November flights this morning. $87 and $93 for the two sets of flights we were looking at from Fort Lauderdale and West Palm Beach. Booked the flights down as soon as they were released a month or so ago.

I totally agree! I was able to get $87 down on USAirways but they wanted almost $300 pp for the return on either 11/12 or 11/13. It's been stuck there for months. Even Spirit wanted $279. When I saw $130 on Airtran yesterday I jumped on it and now it's up to $254.

The kicker is that if we could stay another night and fly home Monday morning, prices are much lower. Too bad ds will be in HS and we need to really minimize the amount of missed school.

I just checked and the schedule only goes through Nov. 21. Did you book flights after that date?

I booked from 11/11-11/20 so I didn't check after that, I just assumed they would have released the entire month since there were only 10 days remaining and those dates that they did release were new... Sorry if I gave bad info. and they didn't release the entire month yet

And they have removed the nonstop options between IAD and MCO. The nonstop options for DCA are at times for my dates where they would be inaccessible via public transportation. So I am flying home to Baltimore in November (the most inconvenient of the three area airports) and will be looking for a different airline to take into MCO.
