AirTran & Flight Change Confirmations

[Alderbrook]

I know a lot of you complain about AT changing flights & not confirming & check all the time to see if there's been changes.

I just got a flight change email today from them. We're scheduled to fly Sept 26-Oct 3 out of Buffalo. I booked in Feb over the internet when their sale came out. I checked each week starting about a month ago to see if it had changed. Last week I noticed that it had & decided to wait to see how long it took to notify me of the change. The change is not a big deal to me & actually works out better so there was no need to call.

So from what I understand, if you book so far away, their schedule is not set in stone yet, which is why changes happen. They've basically given me 2 months notice on the change which I feel is sufficient (will it change again?)

So they do send emails out. Just wanted to let people know my experience (so far) regarding emails.

I booked at the beginning of June to travel on August 29th. About 10 -14 days after I booked they changed the times on us and still have not notified me. Now, our flight to MCO was changed to be 13 minutes later and our return is now 20 minutes later. Even if I didn't know about the change we would obviously still be there on time for the flight. That might be the reason they have not notified me.

The last time we flew with them they changed our times as well and never notified me. They made our departure earlier and added an hour to a layover. I found out about the change only because I was curious as to how much the fare had gone up. I think that time I booked in March or April to fly in July.

I think if the change isn't much, like yours, they don't notify & expect you to call the day before to confirm. Our flights have been changed by an hour each way.

From what I understand, my boss flew with them last March & got notification on a time change from them 3 weeks before.

We booked with them in March via their internet site. Two weeks ago I received an email of a slight 20 min change each way. Nothing drastic enough to ruffle these tailfeathers
