Airtran price change-how did this happen?

[hsmamato2]

I'm not complaining at all but this is odd...last month I purchased tix one way for our trip,(waiting for the other leg to reduce) and on the screen on the airtran website,the fares were posted at 69.00- so I bought- but when I finished,the email amount to be charged was .....low! I figured I'd wait a while.,then check to see the details,if there was a mistake,etc.
Last night I checked the details,and it appears that the 69.00 fare was x'ed out,and it dropped to 44.00 each? how did that happen? it's all paid for,seats are all in order,but the price dropping while I booked? has anyone ever heard of this?

Wow I have never heard of that happening before but congrats!!!! At that price the $25 coupon code would just be icing on the cake.

flight prices can and do change while you are in the process of booking. Normally (if the price has gone up) you will get an alert saying the price has changed since it was last published and the price is now xx.

If you were happy with the original price, I bet you are really happy with the new one!
