How do I do 7 passengers w/Kayak.com

[Twinmom+1]

I have tried to go through Kayak to book with Airtran - but I have not figured out how to change from 6 - 7 passengers. If someone has done this and can clue me in I would definitely appreciate it. Kayaks website you can only choose 6 passengers and when I click on Airtran it takes me to the confirmation - and I can't see where to go back and change the number to 7 passengers. Thanks.

Why not just make 2 separate transactions? I've never done it but heard here on the Dis, if you book Airtran thru Kayak, you don't get charged the seat selection fees.
There's really no disadvantage to having 2 ressies, is there? Esp if it will save over $80 in the long run.

You can even open two browser windows at the same time, and alternate steps so you keep everything as close together as possible.

I was able to book seven without any problem.

When it takes you to the Airtran confirmation page, just click on on the "reservations" link up at the top of the page. Make sure the dates are still right and then select 7 passengers. You can then select your flights and continue on just like normal. When you get to the seat selection page, it will tell you that the seats are $6, but you will notice that as you assign them, you will not see any "seat fees" show up.

I just tried it again to see, and it still works that way. It appears that once Kayak gets you to Airtran's website, you are good even if you have to go back and start the reservations over.
