Airtran 12/03?? flight delayed 6hrs

[Claud26]

hi, anyone flying out of Buffalo 12/03 on Airtran??
we are flying out @6:15am and had a conection flight in Atlanta @10am ... However when I checked this morning our connection flight is now leaving Atlanta @2:30pm !!
with two little ones that is just insane, a 6hr layover... My DH will freak when I tell him.
Do I need to worry about it now? or should I wait it out ??

Im not flying out then, but can you change your tickets altogether? Just a thought

I would call and check with them as to whether they will be changing the time back or if they have another option they can provide. Our trip in July was a nonstop from Dallas but the original time to leave was 6:30 it was moved to 10:15 and the day we left it had moved back to leaving at 9 something so this far out I don't think the schedule is set in 100% stone but it doesn't hurt to call.

Since it was them that changed the schedule, they might be willing to refund you if you can get non-stop on another airline. I'd call and ask. We're flying with them on Sat morning ... flights down pretty much the same, but coming home, our flights were changed to 2 hours earlier, giving us over 3 hours layover in Atlanta. We leave WDW around 9:30 AM on ME, and don't land in Buffalo until 7:30 PM. Then we have to drop off 2 sisters, and still drive to London (about 3 hours from airport). It's gonna be a looooonnnnngggg day, but at least the kids aren't with me on this trip.

I'd call the air line up and make them change it and refund you the difference if there is one or make them give you a voucher.

I hate that!!! Especially because they make you pay in full to book and then they change the schedule around. My experience with Air Tran is that they are non-refundable... and they have a change fee - not sure how much. they did however screw you over in this deal - so fight the change fee!
