I have been booking one-way trips for more than 3 years... better options on the flight times and yes, sometimes using different airlines each way.

Airtran is my preferred airline but I always check Orbitz (or one of the others but the prices all seem to be the same at the same time) in case another airline has a better price. I always book on the airline's website, unless I need hotel too and the deal is good enough.

One (of the many) thing I like about Airtran is it only takes 4) A+ Rewards to get a business class upgrade (on both flights) and 2 free bags. They recently (or currently?) had a promotion to get double A+ rewards for flights in a certain date range.

Don't know what will happen with the SWA merger, but I have noticed no flights available after a certain date. I hope that isn't permanent!

Folks still looking for tickets to JM before the end of the year, check this Airtran Discount info posted by Gail Jackson http://negril.com/forum/showthread.p...hlight=airtran Awww man, I forgot to use it myself when I bought a ticket a few days ago!!!

If you book Airtran with AMEX card you get 5% back or something like that.
