They are a good airline - affordable fares, good service and flight crews and a decent record with on-time flights and baggage handling - plus free XM satellite radio! I fly with them very frequently (4 out of 5 flights). They offer a business class upgrade - if there are available seats in business class, you can purchase an upgrade ($40 from PHL to MCO). Bigger seats, more leg room, drink service and warm cookies.

Yes, schedules can change but that is true with any airline. The further out you book, the more chance you have of getting moved around but in the end we usually fly very close to our original time.

My only 'problem' has nothing to do with their actual service. They have high change fees - $75 per ticket plus any increase in fares (Southwest doesn't charge any fees to make a change). So with AirTran you've got to be certain that you're paying a good price. Other than that - no worries!
