Flying on AirTran

SKAOLboy · December 6, 2005

Well, i just booked a flight for my july cruise, i got a KILLER deal, 417 for two people including taxs. Now im not new to flying, but i have never had to pick my seats upon checkin.

Now this is my first time flying a "discount airline"

does this mean each layover i will have to pick my own seats? or

if i pick my seats at the airport i depart from (buffalo) their good for the entire leg to orlando?(which means i will have to pick out seats for the remainder of the flight from orlando-to-buffalo)?? i only have one lay over and it's in atlanta.

if anyone has flew airtran,

thanks in advance for the help!

sometimes you have the luxuary of selecting your seats...for each leg of your trip...and sometime you don't. wish i could be more help..... :undecided:

I'm assuming you aren't able to pick your seats online now, due to the fare you paid. So, you should be able to get both legs picked on check-in for your first flight. They should give you a boarding pass in BUF for the ATL-MCO flight. Same should work on the way home.

My experience has been what Dan described above. They even seated the three of us together on the plane, unlike other airlines that seemed to randomly select individual seats.

Congratulations on the super fare!

Sorry can't help you.. We also are flying a discount airline this time and we can't pick our seats online until 12 hours b/4..we leave

hope to get seats at least close to each other..as the kids would be upset if they didn't have at least someone beside them..

well it says on there website to "pick seats upon checkin" thats about all it elaborated on the site. On the good side, i got a 3 hr layover in atlanta on the way home.... gives me time to fit in a few more beers before i leave and finalize my vacation!
