Cheapoair for Airtran???

[mommy4]

I've been monitoring flights for November and Airtran has the best times. Has anyone used Cheapoair to book an Airtran flight?? They have really good prices right now.
How do I book seats??
Thanks!

Never heard of it.

I'd just book directly with Airtran and cut out the middle man. It will make it MUCH easier if the flight times adjust or the prices go down and you can just call Airtran directlyfor changes.

I usually just book through airtran too, but it is a little cheaper to do it through this cheapoair.
Just trying to get opinions.
Thanks!

I just checked my flights that I already booked through Airtran and it is actually more than what I paid. I booked mine at $192.00 and they are quoting $219.00 for the exact same two flights.

We used them once and never again. We didn't like the fact that we never got updates on our flight changes. I would literally have to go into AirTran's website and check our schedule to see if they changed it on us. As for the price difference, they seem to be higher than what we paid for for our September trip (however we bought our tickets at $79 each way due to a sale that AirTran was having, so I may be a little bit biased because of it) plus the times that they give you are not what we look for (like to leave very early in the am and come home on the last flight out). We decided that we would just go through AirTran's own website for now on. Just keep looking for sales/deals. Good luck.

I noticed that when I did the first search, it would only allow me the one flight that left at 5:30 at night with any return flight home.

I agree that I go directly to the Airtran site, that way you will be notified of changes right away.

Is it really cheaper through Cheapoair or is Cheapoair just excluding some fee that when added it makes it the same price as booking direct at AirTran?

Did you google that company?

I've never heard of them and I'd be really wary of using someone to book my airfare that I've never heard of and seen reviews of.

As far as Airtran, I've always booked directly and never had any problems but I usually don't book until 2 months before the trip. I fly out of ATL though and they've got quite a few flights to MCO.

If you want to sit next to your children, I would pay for seats. Otherwise you may end up seperated throughout the plane.
