Airtran also has $40 one-way fares to select markets (up to 450 miles I think)

http://www.airtran.com/sale/default.aspx?saleid=514

You can also get a $10 off coupon here for Airtran flights:

My brother was able to use two email addys to get 2 coupons and he booked two one-way flights. Saved $20

6/23/2011 2:53:58 PM

Remember there is also a ~$20 fee per ticket

6/23/2011 3:00:15 PM

My brother was able to book a flight from RDU-LGA and LGA-RDU in September for $102 roundtrip including taxes on AirTran

6/23/2011 3:01:24 PM

Southwest doesn't even have business class. They can give me tickets for free and I wouldn't use them.

^full of shit.


Round trip to New Orleans for $194, fees included? I think I'm gonna pull the trigger on this.

6/23/2011 3:20:29 PM

New Orleans is a fun city. Grab a fish and shrimp po'boy and go sit on St. James.

6/23/2011 3:21:14 PM

I'd imagine it's a fun place for Halloween...

6/23/2011 3:23:51 PM

Yeah but anywhere is fun for Halloween. Its like when people go to Vegas for the Super bowl.

6/23/2011 3:26:23 PM

southwest is cool with me

i fuck with southwest

6/23/2011 3:56:29 PM

^^I'm just saying, since that seems like the best weekend for me to go down anyway.

6/23/2011 3:57:12 PM

i am doing rdu-nyc

for 122

the price was the same on airtran

oh i guess airtran has that coupon though. OH SNIZAP. maybe i'll do airtran then. i've never flown airtran. it isn't like those chinese buses that crash you is it?

6/23/2011 4:14:27 PM

Airtran is ValuJet which crashed in the Everglades a while back.

6/23/2011 4:16:24 PM

Airtran is ok for short flights, but the lack of food and entertainment options make them a poor choice for anything over a couple hours. Raleigh to New York is about as far as I'd be comfortable flying with them.

6/23/2011 4:16:41 PM

bleh im going to LA in october but i cant take advantage of this

6/23/2011 4:20:00 PM

if you go airtran, and have a southwest rapid rewards account, sign up for the airtran rewards too

after the buyout shit is complete, they'll credit your sw account with the airtran points you gained.

i'm actually flying airtran for the first time next month. was markedly cheaper from texas to rdu than southwest/continental/united/etc... for the first time.

6/23/2011 4:20:25 PM

6/23/2011 4:30:19 PM

the first time it was cheaper than sw/continental.

6/23/2011 4:31:21 PM

i fly airtran quite often. Southwest doesn't fly into here (wichita). But even when I've flown out of KC, southwest was significantly higher than airtran. Even if you factor in paying for a bag, airtran was still cheaper.
Of course, this is without any special offers or anything

Why not?

6/23/2011 4:34:45 PM

i went to their RDU section and LAX was not in the list of destinations. I guess I could split it up but it loses its value the more stops i would have to add

6/23/2011 4:38:09 PM

Ah that sucks. I didn't even bother looking at west coast destinations (lack of friends to visit + cost)

6/23/2011 4:46:29 PM

I am going to Kansas for a wedding in August...yeah I don't get it either but anyways

How about you seasoned travelers find me a good rate

Leave Aug. 5th or EARLY the 6th and come back on the 7th

Oh yeah I gotta fly into Kansas City, MO tho

[Edited on June 23, 2011 at 5:11 PM. Reason : e]

Kansas in August sound like absolute hell

Go to Burbank or Orange County. Both have SW and both are a short drive to LA

6/23/2011 5:25:05 PM

^^Yeah no shit...and I think everything is outside

ugh

6/23/2011 5:33:40 PM

not pumped about the non direct flight

OH WELL I AM CAPABLE OF NOT BEING A SNOBBY MCSNOBERSON unlike some people ITT

but 4 hours to NYC ISSSSS a little overkill

BUT IT IS IN THE MORNING SO IT WILL BE FINE.

6/23/2011 8:43:55 PM

6/23/2011 10:16:33 PM

oh well, so much for buying a cheap flight. Thought I'd get home around 10-1030 and have plenty of time to buy a ticket. Didn't get home anywhere near the midnight deadline, whoops!
