Airtran travel vouchers

Will airtran let you use the 25.00 vouchers you get by e-mail from them for each person in your flight group, as long as they have a different email for each?

Yes, and it will tell you when you have used the maximum amount of vouchers.

And if you book each leg of the trip separately (to Orlando as one and from Orlando as another), you can use one voucher for each way. We have 5 people in our group, so we used a total of 10 vouchers.

So you mean if I have 6 in my group, I just purchase 6 oneways seperately to orlando, use the vouchers, then purchase 6 more oneways seperatley, to Orlando, use the vouchers? I just need 12 e-mails right?

That is correct. A little more time-consuming, but it will save you $300. Don't forget to go to kayak.com first. If you select your flight from their website, it will forward you to the AirTran site and you will be able to select your seats for free. This will save your party of 6 another $72.

Okay Thank You all very much. I have never flown Airtran before so you pay to pick your seats? If you don't pay to pick where do you go? Since I am flying with three little one 4,2,2... We usually go to the back anywhere, to keep them out of everyone elses hair and close to the restroom and flight attendant station. Is it important to pick your seats on these flights? Thanks

You don't have to do 6 separate one way tickets, you can book all 6 one ways together. For dh and I, I was able to use two codes on the way down and two codes on the way back. I needed four separate e-mail accounts though.

Just to be clear, you can do it in 2 transactions. The first reservation will be for the 6 of you flying to Orlando. The second will be for the 6 of you flying home. For each reservation, you'll be able to enter the voucher codes one by one. The online system will take one voucher code per person, per reservation.

Also, don't forgot to use Kayak to get seat assignments for free.

I did not know this part about Kayak, thanks for that. I just paid the fee not knowing.

How are you getting these vouchers? Is this a promotion they are doing? I have flown with airtran before and never got anything like that.

Oh I wish I had known about the coupon and about the kayak.com free seat assingment options. I wonder if there's anyway I could at least go back and apply the coupons to our airfare?

If they change your flight time before the coupon expires you could possibly cancel and get a refund. Then rebook using the coupon. Of course, that's only an option if the fare isn't significantly higher than what you originally booked.

I have a bunch of the coupons... now jsut waiting for good prices... but can you use the coupons on kayak or just the airtran site???? I am confused.... do you book on airtran.com with the vouchers then go into kayak and book your seats? How does this work... sorry for being such a pain....

Go to kayak first. Enter your itinerary and it will give you prices. Click on the AirTran quote. That will take you directly to AirTran's site. Then you can book your flight, select your seat and use your coupons exactly like you would if you'd just gone directly to AT's site. The only difference is that when you select your seats, it will show $0 for seat fees.

I hope Airtran offers the coupons again so we can use them for our May 26th trip to Disney!!! Anyone know how often they offer these?

Thanks!!

I got the coupon and deleted it from my email. Will they have a record of it if i book a flight? Do you just need the email addresses the $25 was mailed to?

I have 5 in my party. Can i use my mom's email address and her coupon since she wont use it?

I would like to use the website for the free seats. Is the only other fee bags? I think i saw $15 for the 1st bag.

Thanks for the help. I see Airtran is out of Atlantic City now. I used Sprit many times with no problems there so this would be great.

 

[cbrfan]

I don't think there's a way to retrieve the coupon once it's been deleted. It never hurts to call and ask, though.

You may use as many e-mail addresses as you'd like. Most on these boards are booking their return flights separately so they can use 2 coupons per person.

If you go through Kayak to get to AirTran's site you can book your seats for free. The only other charge is the checked bag fee. AirTran allows carryons with up 55" (overall dimensions) so we seldom need to check any bags. Their maximum checked bag size (without additional oversize or overweight fees) is 61". So not a whole lot of difference between the two.

Thank you! Will look into kayak too.
