Airtran Perks?

[Ind.Firefighter]

I was just wondering if anyone had flown Airtran to Disney for there Honeymoon, and if so, when they were checking in, did they let them know it was there honeymoon, and get any perks like being moved up to Bus. class for free? Just heard over the weekend that someone had just gotten back from there honeymoon, and that they got a free upgrade since there was 2 seats open in the bus. class.

I wouldn't count on perks from any airline in today's travel environment.

Highly doubtful. Just hope that your flight leaves ON TIME and that all your bags show up.

Air Tran is taking things away so don't look for anything free from them.

Not only are the airlines not giving things away for free anymore, but you have to consider that preferred frequent fliers (I don;t know much about AirTran's FF program specifically) get their free upgrades (based on availability) 1-3 days in advance of the flight. Even if you had a free upgrade coupon, the odds of getting to use it at the gate are slim. Also factor in how popular a destination Orlando is....

ASK, I've been able to upgrade to Airtran Business class for between $45-$60pp if they had seats available - well worth it IMHO. We love airtran.

We didn't fly for our honeymoon, but did fly Airtran for our last trip. They had us sitting in seperate rows. I wouldn't expect anything free from any airline.
