I have never heard of Air Tran. We always use Midwest Express. For our flight to Orlando next week our tickets were only $130 pp. Can't beat that, with the best care in the air

Wow $130 I thought I was doing good by getting $160!
Has anyone traveled Airtran Airways? They have better departure times at the same price but I've never heard anything about them only Midwest express. Help I want to purchace tickets before the price goes up.

Thanks for the info.

AirTran is a low-cost carrier hubbed out of Atlanta and with a major presence in Orlando (I guess Orlando is considered a hub for them also). Customer service is okay -- I've never had any problems with them but I've read of people that have. Like Southwest, the only cabin service they offer are pretzels and soft drinks. Unlike Southwest, they offer assigned seating and a business class section. Their main selling point is that they've been replacing their fleet with brand new Boeing 717s, modeled after the MD80 series. They still have some older DC-9s but I don't know how many.

I've never flown Midwest Express, but I've heard they have very good service and the whole plane is first class seating.

I wish I could get decent airfare from Mpls on MIdwest Express. I would fly them in a minute!

I have only heard good things about ME, and not so good about AirTran.
