The answer to what might be left to consider lies in what you expect from an airline. Even with cost cutting affecting many amenities on an airline, there are issues like customer service, aircraft comfort, aircraft safety and terminal issues that all ...

Pros: Inexpensive; standby for students-$52 each way!
Cons: Cramped, chilly on the plane, the snack was meager even in Business Class.

I recently flew from Boston to Atlanta, Georgia on Air Tran. This was my first experience with this airline and overall it was positive.

I don’t blame the negatives on the airline. I bought the tickets through...

Pros: Cheap fares, decent service.
Cons: Very, very bad check in service.

UPDATE: May 2008 I have now flown AirTran four times in the past few months and definitely need to give them a downgrade. The check-in process is just the most inefficient, horrible mess that I have encountered both at Baltimore and Los ...

Pros: Often has inexpensive airfares, some new planes, business class upgrades
Cons: Sometimes disorganized, you must nearly always change planes in Atlanta

I flew Air Tran to Biloxi last March from Washington's Dulles Airport. As this was a last-minute trip, the fare I paid was not a great bargain, at nearly $500.00 round-trip. I simply wanted to get out of Washington, and so I went....

Cons: some bad service, late, cramped

Hehe...I just got back from Orlando (as in today), and I just sat down at the computer after taking two minutes to unpack. First of all, we had a great time in Orlando. Even though we were there only for the weekend, we still accomplished everything that ...

Pros: The return trip was less rushed.
Cons: Just about everything else.

We recently flew AirTran Airways from Fort Lauderdale, Florida to Atlanta, Georgia roundtrip to attend a family wedding in Knoxville. My fiancee was able to win free airfare through the Wendy’s AirTran contest. If you collected a certain ...

Pros: Cheaper flights
Cons: Might have to walk a little further

I would not consider myself an authority on airplane travel. I went for my first flight last summer from North Carolina to Florida. We chose Air Tran. Air Tran only goes to selected cities, and usually you have to go through Atlanta in order to get...

Pros: Low Cost, friendly staff, on time, no luggage lost, efficient, free XM
Cons: Extra fees, no food options, small

I hate flying. I mean I really, really, really hate it. My husband has a fear of bridges and I have a fear of flying. Some psychologists might say it's because I'm a control freak, but that's not a proper discussion for an Epinions' review on our ...

Pros: In-flight crew pleasant, clean planes, cheap
Cons: Very unorganized, Long lines, lack of technology

I should have known something was off when I discovered Air Tran didn’t offer e-tickets…

Over the 4th of July weekend I flew from Boston’s Logan Airport, to Baltimore/Washington International (BWI). We booked our tickets a few months...

Pros: Good, basic airline. Cheap fares. Nice business-class.
Cons: Cannot pre-select seats.

Recently, I had to make the roughly 500 mile flight to Atlanta, GA, I had the choice of many airlines. Delta, United, and Air Tran. Though I'd never really heard of Air Tran before a couple of months ago, I chose them because quite simply, they had the ...

Pros: Great prices
Cons: Cramped seating and limited flight destinations

In October I had to take a short weekend trip with my children to Louisiana in order to have a detailed medical checkup. I originally wanted to fly from Atlanta to Baton Rouge, but Delta's flights were mostly sold out because of an LSU home game that...

Pros: Exceptional prices, friendly and quality service, newer airplanes, XM radio
Cons: "No frills" service, limited direct flights, standby procedures

Let's just face it: air travel just hasn't been very fun in the past few years. The long lines, security check points, threat of delays and just the general hassles of the situation can be a major pain. Honestly, I'm much happier taking a couple of days ...

Pros: saving money
Cons: no direct flights except Atlanta, Biloxi; poor service

After a few experiences with Airtran, I can honestly say you get what you pay for with them. Almost every time, there was a kink thrown in the plans either due to their fault or perhaps the airport. I know I have had better experiences with American...

Pros: Cheap fares, easy upgrades
Cons: Cramped seats, no meal service

How I ended up on Air Tran
I live in southeast Michigan, and I fly out of the regional airport in Flint whenever possible. Recently, I wanted to go to Myrtle Beach. Well, actually I wanted to go to Wilmington, NC, but you really can't...
