Airtran or wait for SWA?

[drgnfly30]

I have an opportunity to buy Airtran from PHL to MCO for $181 per RT ticket right now.... should I just go for it or wait for SWA to open up November's dates? I see people referring to refunds/credits from SWA if the flight goes down in price... does Airtran do the same? I obviously don't fly that often........
Thanks for your help... this is one of my last things to plan for our November trip & it's been driving me crazy!!

I have read on these boards that Airtran does not give refunds when the price goes down. I have had positive experiences with Airtran and with Southwest, but all Airtran flights in my area are connecting in Atlanta, so they are not my first choice. $181 sounds like a good price, but I've never priced that route.
