AirTran is at it again About This Page:

When I checked my Nov-Dec flights for the second time today, I discovered they changed the times yet again. Now, I've pretty much lost a day on both ends. I'm so bummed. At least they haven't cancelled it.

All you AirTran nonstop people, check your flights!

I'm sorry

Do you have any other airline options? You can cancel with AirTran and use the refund to buy new tickets.

I am so sorry that it happened to you.

[Jookiba]

Sorry to hear your flights were changed again!!

I don't know if we'll ever fly AT again-it's really a mess right now!!

[hildai]

Sorry that happened to you! Back in Feb when we flew with Airtran, our flight home was change by almost 2 hours later. It worked out in our favor so that we were able to have breakfast at Cape May Cafe and not be rushed.

I hope it works out for you!!

I will join the club with you. Our flight down had been changed 5 times over the last few weeks...yesterday (friday) my sister looked and they changed the return flight. It would be all well and good because that would give us a few more hours at Disney, however it puts us getting home late. We have to drive 3 hours home from the airport. We would not get back to BWI until 3:30-4:00, then you figure about 1/2 hour to get bags, then 10-15 minutes to get the bus to the car lot, then 5-10 minutes to get to the car and load it. By the time we would get home it would be 8 PM or so and we would still have to go to the store to get stuff for their lunch the next day eat dinner and get the boys a bath and in bed. AT is driving everyone crazy!!!!

I'm so sorry that's happened to you.

As for me ... SO FAR, nothing has been changed since the last time they nudged our flight times around.

But yes, I am seriously regretting my choice of AirTran; it's the ONLY bit of advice I've gotten from these boards, which I regret following (when we bought our tickets, "the Troubles" hadn't yet begun).

[DrDolphin]

Sorry for the stress that AT has caused.

[TMWIlson7196]

Im sorry this happened to you.

[janicelovesmickey]

Did you guys ever think about complaining to DOT about them? I mean they sound like they are out of control. 5 and 6 flight changes is unacceptable.

[GinaButtrfly]

I cancelled my AT flights and re-booked with JetBlue. AirTran is a major disaster right now. Look around for different flights. You'll be able to cancel with a full refund!

I'll never fly with them again. So far our flight down hasn't changed yet but I keep watching it. We canceled the return when they changed it to a layover. I understand changes have to be made, but they seem excessive and it really bugs me that I've never been notified about any of the changes - just happened to find it on my own.

When Airtran started changing our return flight quite a bit I called them and cancelled our flight and booked with Southwest with better times and it was cheaper. Maybe this is an option for you.

I've flown Airtran many times out of PHL (a major hub for them) and have had little problem. They have changed the flight times by a 1/2 hour or so here and there, but as long as I check the flight a few times between the day I book it and a few days before I fly, I've always managed to be able to get to Disney at roughly the time I expected to originally. If not, they've been accomodating about re-arranging my flights.

Because Airtran is so inexpensive and efficient on the PHL-MCO route, I'll continue to fly them. I'm so sorry that others have had such significant problems, but I'd hate to scare people off of this airline if they live near a major hub.

Good luck to everyone!
