AirTran, March 2011 Ticketing?

[Disneylvr]

When will they open up ticketing for March 2011? Right now I see you can only buy tickets through mid-Feb 2011. Thanks!

I am waiting on the same thing. We're going about March 3rd and we always fly Airtran. I want to get the cheap web only special and those go fast around here. As of a few days ago, they show March '11 on the pull-down menu, but no flights yet, so hopefully soon.

Subscribing, we're looking for 3/2 - 3/11 out of Allentown.

Hey you! (Thunderhockeyfan here). Are you guys going back next year? Hadn't talked to you about Disney in a while.

Well I did this game last year!!! We flew down on March 8th and back on the 19th, and I can tell you they release the dates at the end of August first of Sept last year, if that helps anyone, and I am looking for the same dates this year!!!! So I will be watching with you!

We may or we may not. We are on a strict budget so airfares and resort discounts will factor in to our final decision. We are hoping the the 4/3 deal again like we had this year and in 2009. When is your next trip? Nevermind, I just looked at your counter!

Yes, that does help! I wonder if they pretty much stick to the same release dates every year. I know we purchased ours in Sept or Oct for our last beginning of March trip, and they'd been out for a bit already by that time.

I know last year I actually booked my flight down to Florida at the end of August as a one way, which I normally wouldn't do, but I was afraid it was going to go up! It was $72 I booked my flight back on Sept 13th at $69. I hated doing one ways but I didn't want to pay more then that! Good luck!

Our take-off day from Allentown, 3/2, is out, but not our 3/11 return.

I am waiting for the Airtran flights as well and passed up a few Delta cheap flights already. I spoke with a representative yesterday at Airtran, and exchanged several emails with a few customer relations reps and they all said by the end of this month the March itinerary would be out.

First trip down last year, has lead to second trip this year. I can not thank this forum and its members for all the help.

Anyone remember what they paid for their flight around Mid March last year? I will be flying out of Detroit or Flint with my wife and two young kids.

Thanks

Hey Spidey, we look for the same area. We always check, Buffalo, Detroit, Flint, and Grand Rapids, they are all about a 7 hour drive for us, give or take an hour!
We flew from Buffalo last year, on March 8th to March 19th, and we got flights for $72 down and $69 back!! But like most people, I made a career out of checking for prices, and releases! My only complaint about airtran booking this far in advance, is that you can't change without paying a fee, so you have to be ok with what you are booking from day one, where as Southwest there is a little more flexibility! Just SW doesn't release their dates at the same time as Airtran. I think I may wait for SW this year, but it will depend on the AT prices! Right now, I don't like the time for the direct flight from Buffalo, 4:37 in the afternoon! YUCK

Airtran is out through March 9, at least MSP-MCO.

I'm actually planning on flying down from 3/6 - 3/13 out of BWI.... Though maybe since I'm in south-central PA, I might find another airport nearby that due to flight times or pricing I might choose to fly from instead.

 

[spideyspence]

Ya, looks like I will be waiting for Southwest as well, again all depends on Airtran. I will make sure to post here as soon as I here anything. I really like the convenience of Flint.

Thanks again and good luck.

I booked our return flight on March 24,2010 on September 1, 2009. I just went to my airtran account to look it up. It was $74. I booked NWA on our way down as it was a better time for the flight.

I'm looking to book both ways on Airtran for March, 2011.

 

[spideyspence]

Thanks for the info. It will help in the search for
our flights.

Well fares aren't up for the Cleveland area out of Akron. Darn - I would love to book a discounted fare. keeping my fingers crossed!

I am waiting for March 26th to open up to book out of Akron.

 

[BusyMom2Three]

Fares are out for Flint for my Mar 3-9 trip, but I don't see the low "web only" fare I usually book. I don't usually book until Sept or Oct, so I'm hoping it'll be released later. If not, we will be paying a lot more this year. In '07 and '09 we paid around $170 RT nonstop. Right now, the lowest I'm seeing is $240 RT for nonstop. That is the highest I have ever seen. Paying $70 more a person this year x 5 will hurt!

Thanks for the info. Spoke with a travel agent I know and she said after labour day is another time for quick deals. Good luck to everyone.
