AirTran anyone?

I am considering AirTran out of Baltimore to Montego Bay. Anyone care to share experiences? I am interested in opinions on reliability, etc. I have read some negative reviews on other sites which gives me some concern? Thanks for your input

My husband flew Air Tran weekly for a year. I can count on one hand how many times his flight got in at the correct time. He was often hours late. There was also the time they abandoned us and our young kids over night at the Newark airport without so much as a bag of chips or an I'm sorry. And it was totally their fault. We passengers about rioted, the police had to be called. As another FU to all the passengers they made us leave the terminal sonwe spent the night guarding our kids and fending off scam artists and theives.We had the chance to take AirTran on our upcoming reach to Negril, we paid more to fly ANYONE but them. Sorry my review isn't better but I consider AirTran no better than Spirit.

I fly Airtran once in awhile, when I can get a deal. Longer flight, but I figure I am going to Jamaica, :). I always hear travelers in the airport saying their flights where cancelled, etc. But where given good vouchers. I'm on Airtran for my August trip, about $300.00US cheaper, wish me luck.

I have taken the AirTran BWI direct to MoBay flight many times and never have had any issues.

We flew airtran to Montego Bay with a 50 minute layover in Orlando and paid $480.00. We didn't really have an issue except on the way back they said there would be someone directing us where to go when we got off of our plane in Orlando and there wasn't. It wasn't an issue going down because the connecting plane was right next to the one we just got off. We got a little lost in the airport but it all worked out. Flying again with them back to Jamaica in 4 days!! I hope all goes well. This trip is only costing us $380.00 per round trip ticket with a 40 mintue layover in Orlando again. I heard the horrow stories, in fact it happened to a friend just last week, there was a delay and they missed their connecting flight, didn't arriave in Mobay till 11pm. I guess we have gotten lucky. I can't afford any other airline as I found them to be the cheapest, even with the baggage fees and choosing your own seat fees. Good luck to you!

Have used them for the past 3 years...haven't had a single problem. They have always been on time for arrival, and just a couple of delays prior to take off, but no real problems. They will soon be apart of Southwest though.

Using their direct flight in 25 days... they better get me there within a good time! :) I'm not really worried!

We used them last winter to fly out of Milwaukee to Sarasota, FL and had excellent service. Sorry that others have had a rough experience with them but we had not one issue. Got through the whole ticket process and to the terminal very quickly and everything on time....was very happy with them.

We fly AirTran almost 100% of the time ............. between the two of us, at least 15 round trips a year to / from MKE ........ some with a stop in ATL but mostly non-stops ........... majority of flights to RSW in Florida and this spring to MBJ ................ never had an issue except for one planes on which the A/C was a little week ......... many of our flights have actually left the gate early and arrived at destination early ............. AirTran seems to start the boarding process earlier then most so when the last passenger gets onboard they are ready to rock and roll ................ all the customer service people have been friendly and helpful but then we are flying to and from friendly cities ............. I did notice the one bad review had to do with Newark airport .............. maybe it was the city more then the actual airline ................ not looking forward to the proposed Southwest / Airtran merger ............ two completely different coporate policies .............. business class vs all one class ............ free luggage vs paid luggage .......... etc....

My wife flies on Air Tran almost every week and has for years. No airline is perfect but Air Tran does a great job and offers good prices.

I wouldnt hesitate because of a few people being late or complaining of lost luggage...lol. They serve thousands every day. Hard to make everyone happy....
