Airtran?

If I book now and the price decreases would I be able to get a credit for the difference and is there a fee for this if I am keeping the same flight.

If so what do I need to do to receive the credit?

You can get a credit toward a future flight, good for one year from the date of the original booking. All you have to do is call them and ask for the credit. I've been charged the phone fee in the past, but didn't get charged the last time I called for the credit. If you paid the fee to book your seats in advance be sure to tell them. You'll need to rebook your seats. I always book our flights under my A+ Rewards number. That way the the credit goes into one account. Then I can use that credit to book tickets in anyone's name, not just my own.

Thanks. They told me that each person would need to have a A+ member to recieve their credits since I will be the one paying they can give me the credits, correct? What if I book using gift certificates. Also can you tell me how much the phone fee was. Again thank You for your help

Each person needs his own A+ number to receive the flight credits for actually flying...no way to get those under your name. I always use gift certificates when purchasing airfare. You call and get the GC's first and have the funds credited to YOUR account. You will receive 1 credit for each $100 in certs. Then you can purchase everyone's tickets (using their A+ number when you list their info). You personally will receive the credits for purchasing the gift certificates (you get these immediately) and YOUR flight credits when you fly. The other members of your party will receive their flight credits when they fly. Example - Flights are $200 pp. and there are 3 of you. You purchase $600 in gc's to be deposited to your accout (YOU receive 6 credits). Purchase tickets with those funds. When you actually fly (round-trip) YOU will receive 2 credits. The other people in your party will receive 2 credits each. At the end of the trip you will have 8 credits, other passengers will each have 2. HTH.
