How Many Times is Airtran...?(VENT)

VENT
Ok just wondering how many times Airtran is going to change my flight schedule? First my return flight was moved up a hour so I had to switch to 5:30pm because we can't make it. We will be departing our Disney cruise and have to make it though customs. So I decided we would rent a day room at the Hyatt for $89.00. Then I get a email today that my departing flight is moved up 10 minutes. Not really a biggy but I had to call my airport shuttle and change that time. I wonder how many times before November 16th they are going to change my flight plans? And since I am venting I think it's crazy how they are charging me to make seat assignments!

I know it's so frustrating but all I can say is you're not alone. We had a perfect post cruise flight home: nonstop at 11:45am. So we buy DCL transfers back to MCO so we can use Onboard Check in but now our flight home is 6:16 pm.

No way can my boys sit at the airport all day. I got a day room at the Hyatt for my parents but kids would be bored to death. No guarantee that it will be warm enough to swim either.
We'll probably cancel the DCL bus, rent a car and visit Universal for a few hours since we have APs it won't be any $ out of pocket.
If I was going to be renting a car and getting our stuff at customs, I would have chosen SWA. We only picked Airtran cuz they're a participating airline.

Oh, and at least you got an email. I discovered it purely by checking on their website. Who knows how long our flight will be there until that gets cancelled too.

Next time I'll stick with SWA.

They have been changing the schedules a lot lately. Hopefully, they are done now!

But for future reference - if you book through Kayak.com you don't have to pay the seat fee. If your flights are the same price still - you might want to consider cancelling and then rebooking. I did this a few weeks ago when the price dropped after a schedule change and saved over $100!

I also have had 5 flight time changes so far and one of them is 4 minutes? I don't get it, but it has not been bad enough yet to change the flight.
