I used them 2x in december out of Chicago. We love them! The staff was wonderful, everything was on time and clean.

I started my own thread before finding this one. I just got PHL to MCO in Oct for $49 each way for each person. The two of us cost $237 total, less than we paid each last month. I'm also interested in hearing about AirTran, now that we're committed.

We moved from Bear (off RT896). We are staying at Animal Kingdom Lodge but hoping for Wilderness Lodge to open some rooms. And you?

Interested as well. They are offering perfect n/s flights at an airport 15 minutes from my house for $99 12/30-1/5. I can book it and have the piece of mind of knowing that it's done but if they wind up changing things around I may regret it or wait for Jet Blue but they may be higher and offer less choices of flight times from Stewart or hang out waiting for Southwest. I love Southwest but we would still need to travel 1.5 hours to the airport and Dings are not going to be easy to come by for 6 of us and I can't change my dates. Airtran's $60 change fee is also keeping me from booking guess I am spoiled with Southwest. Anyone heard if they do alot of schedule changes?

We got $49.00 each way for our may trip and $69.00 each was for our sept trip!!! I hope we catch the $49.00 rate for Setember trip so I can set up a credit account ...we are going back July 2008 and taking everyone so a credit would be nice since we will have to fly 5 people.

We fly AirTran almost exclusively. We love them. Friendly and helpful. Great rewards program. They do change their times quite a bit. We've only had them change by less than 30 minutes but other airports might be different. Non-stop flights don't seem to change as often or by as much time. Just keep checking your flights.

I'm in Washington Township and you? I love your signature. LOL

I'm so tempting to book my flight to WDW with Airtrans and not wait for SW ding. My only problem is that we wanted to stop in Ft Myers 9/15 (visit family) and drive to disney 9/16 and then fly back to Philly on 9/22. But the flights to FT Myers all have stops. Maybe I will just book coming home from Orlando to PHL on 9/22 and then play it by ear for my FT Myers flight.

I booked a $99 fare on the way down and a $49 fare on the way back..had to do $99 down cuz it was an early nonstop..I have to get there early and I HATE changing planes...I want no stress and the price difference seemed worth it..now..if I was bringin my 3 girls..then cheap is GOOD!!!

The best part about Air Tran is they have business class and if there are seats available on your flight you can upgrade at the gate for $50!

The cost of an upgrade to business class ranges from $40-$80 depending on distance. And it's charged for each flight segment. So a non-stop flight is more economical if you want to upgrade.

DH would love that and leave the rest of us to fend for ourselves
My SIL told me no snacks which is not a huge deal but just more things to pack along with more electronics vs Jet Blue. But, on the other hand Air Tran flight are available now and I have about 10 choices Jet Blue I will only have 2 or 3 but all non-stops.

They do give you a tiny bag of pretels or a tiny package of graham cracker-type cookies.

<nod nod> and drinks!! They also have Sirrus?? <I think one of them> So they give you head phones

Airtran is great. We fly them a lot PHL to MCO.

They do snacks (pretzels) and usually will give you a full can of soda. They also have XM on most of their planes and give complimentary headphones.

You can also get a credit if your fare goes down in price (same flight). It does cost $5 per person to do this but it still works great. My last flight was $89 and went down to $49 so I got a $35 credit on my account.
