AirTran

We recently booked tickets with AirTran for our trip to WDW in Nov. They were a lot cheaper than the other carriers. We have never flown them before and were curious how good (or bad) of an airline they are. Thanks.

I have flown AirTran many times and had absolutely no problems. My family actually prefers them because they fly 717's out of our little local airport and they would rather do that then a small regional jet. Their planes are fairly new and always clean.

New planes (some have XM radio), usually clean, fairly friendly employees and good fares.

We fly out of PHL and I actually give them a slight edge over Southwest, but I will fly whoever is cheaper and has the better times between the two.

I've flown with Airtran a couple times and I have to say I have been really satisfied with them. I actually just recently flew with them 7/8. They have XM Satalite in most of the planes. Smooth ride, clean plane, decent service, quick arrival times. Overall it's a great deal. I'm sure you'll enjoy it.

We flew them in June/July. Very clean, friendly, helpful (DH had back issues and they were very accomodating). Also, the XM radio was AWESOME!

We have flown Airtran 3 trips now, most recently on July 15th and July 22nd. We originally chose Airtran, because of the fares and because they have a direct flight to Orlando from our area. We have never had a problem.
Airplane was very clean and flight attendants very friendly. Curbside check-in
out of Orlando was a breeze!!
