Paying airtran baggage fees/online check-in

[Tinkerbell53]

I have never flown Airtran before or paid baggage fees before so please bear with me. I'm trying to check in for a flight tomorrow and on the baggage page it is asking how many bags. I put in one bag per person but then the $105 fee comes up. There are 7 of us on this reservation but I'm only paying for 3 people's bags. Is there a way to still check in on-line and pay the fee at the airport by putting zero for the number of bags or do I need to just check in tomorrow at the airport? I'd like to check in on-line if possible and I guess I could pay for everyone's bags and hope they pay me back.

If it were me, I would wait until checking in tomorrow at the airport. If you want to check in online today, do what you said and put zero for the number of bags and then pay for the baggage tomorrow.

Have a good flight.

I think you can also "uncheck" the other people and just check yourself in if you want to do that - and pay for yourself.

But if you are getting to the airport with time to spare I usually just do it all there...for some reason the airtran page will not accept any of my credit cards. It's very annoying.
