I called the airport again where I used to fly out of on SE. I asked the women there about any new info on airlines wanting to help us out. She said Airtran....who is offering the $50 standby seats til Dec 8th and Transmeridian.

I called Transmeridian (iflytma.com) 3 times today already to ask ?'s and feel them out. They must think I am a nutcase.....altho at this moment I AM!

I was able to get great flight times...at least IMO at this late of a game.

I am flying out of Harrisburg on Dec 21 at 245 pm...arriving in Sanford at 5 pm.

Coming home on Dec 30 leaving Sanford at 1130 and back in Harrisburg at 145 pm. Round trip for 4 of us..... $646.80


They just expanded to Harrisburg and only offer Florida for now from Harrisburg. They have been in biz since 1995. My local paper talked about these little airlines and said any airline w less then 25 planes in their fleet is a concern....not that that soley means anything, they were just giving tips. The aricle is huge if youd like to read it..... mcall.com

Very informative. Altho I could have gotten our exact flights I woudl have paid 1120$...but even with the dates i have booked w TMA, I didnt come close in price by a few hundred. Most of the flights are not available or expensive which I figured this late in the game.

I hope this is a wise choice. I pray that this was the right thing to do. I am aware that they too are charter lines. I am hoping w their history in biz, that its a better choice of one of the few I had. Guess it was meant to be that I am not doing NYE with MICKEY. BUT---I am getting there and not losing any time either!

Check them out if its an option for you. Someone just told me today that USAIR was talking strike/bankruptsy. I dont know for sure. I know they had hard times but havent followed them lately. Its scary.

THANK YOU ALL from the bottom of my heart for being there for us!!!! Things can only go up from here :)

I'm glad you found something to work for you magicalmoments. :D

I hope you have a great vacation. You sure deserve it after such a rocky start.

zippehsmom :D
 
Glad you got your flights....but don't even say that about USAir...my parents just rebooked their SE flights from ABE with USAir from Philly....

They only need to hold on for 2 more weeks and then they can do as they like!
 
I don't understand? What was your concern ? I don't know why your happy with this flight ? What happened or is happening ??? Confused :(
 

I think you will be OK. I just read a blurb about it in our local paper. They have been around a long time tho and I guess with the cost of feul and everything else...they too are seeing a bit of difference in there profit margin but they are a bigger airline and can probably hang in longer then a charter like SE could. I think SE problems are more then just fuel costs. According to the article in our paper, they had a big fine coming from FAA.

Sooo, I guess what I am saying is I dont think USAIR will be doing anything anytime soon. They are not being secretive about there situation or hiding out like SE did. When I called them yesterday this women said she worked for them for 20 yrs. Thats a long time in biz and I am sure they built a reputation with air passengers. Its gut a tuff spot for them (and probably a few others) but they will get thru it to. Like I said they are around a lot longer then SE.

I think you will be ok.

I am happy cuz I am scheduled to fly to WDW for a Christmas and our airline SOUTHEAST just up and left and left us all high and dry looking for flights and it is costing us a fortune...so I am happy. Read the thread Southeast went bust.

I think you are probably safer on TMA then USAir. They do seem to be making a go of the transistion from what I have read.

Glad things worked out for you.

Lesley, hopefully the USAir employees will see the light and realize that a strike will mean that instead of pay cuts they have NO pay.
 
I'm really glad to hear this for you. Hope you have a great vacation.
 
Good for you Stacy! Glad it's getting worked out and that you don't have to drive down there now. Harrisburg huh? ick but at least it's a flight!!
