Changing flight with Air Tran

[cceandme]

Booked flight with my package.
Turns out my son has a basketball game day we were supposed to leave.
Called Disney to change arrival date and it will cost at least $300 to change our flight($150 each plus extra if there is any price differnce)

Guess my son is skipping his game.

Was this in the fine print and I just missed it?

They have always had a change fee...

I believe you just missed it. I do know that there is no charge with SW when you need to change . Not sure of other airlines.

Southwest and Air Tran have a $75.00 change fee not sure of other airlines.

THis is incorrect. SWA does not have a change fee but AirTran has a $75 fee

Have your flight times changed? Used to be they would allow you to change flights if the times changed without the change fee. We have done it several times in the past. We haven't flown with them in about a year so I don't know the current policy.

You just missed it. Each flight's fare (at least Lowest Coach Fare and Lowest Business Fare) has an asterisk after it. When you scroll down to the bottom of the page, right below the 'Continue' button, the explanation begins, "*All AirTran Airways coach tickets are non-refundable and a $75 fee per person applies to any change made after purchase, plus any applicable increase in airfare."

You're lucky. Most other airlines have a change fee of $150 for domestic tickets.

When I talked to the Lady at Disney she told me it was $150 each ticket. Not sure why she said 150 and not 75
