AirTran seat assignment hint

AirTran's cheaper fares do not offer pre-assigned seat selection. You have to wait until check-in. I bought my AirTran tickets through WDTC in May (we leave one month from today). In what seemed like a 1990s-flashback, I received paper tickets in the mail, along with a note stapled to each that they are "actual" paper tickets and are REQUIRED for boarding. They offer online check-in as early as 24 hours in advance, and at that time you can get seat assignments. I read a post here on the DIS a few days ago from a fellow paper ticket holder who said she learned from AirTran that if you have paper tickets that you can't check-in online. Well. traveling with 2 little ones, my wife and I didn't want to wait until 90 minutes before the flight to try to get decent seat assignments. So I called AirTran yesterday to ask about this. The very nice customer service rep put me on hold because she didn't know the answer to my question, and when she came back she told me it was true that with paper tickets you can't check-in online. UGH! But immediately after that she cheerfully offered to assign my seats over the phone, right then and there, one month and one day prior to the departure flight. SHE DID IT, and sent me an e-mail to confirm. So even though I bought the (much) cheaper tickets, and got paper tickets at that, I was still able to get my seat assignments more than one month in advance. Hope this helps you !!!

If you buy through a TA, which I consider WDTC, you can get pre-assigned seats with the cheapest fare. Otherwise, a call as stated above could help. It appears Airtran is "trying" to become more customer friendly. Duds

CarolMN said: Hope they're trying when I call to change my departure flight to an earlier time, LOL. My non-stop flight is now arriving at 7:36 pm - when I booked it was scheduled to arrive at 2:25 pm. Since my Dh wants to attend a basketball game scheduled for that evening, the later time isn't going to work. Guess we'll have to switch in Atlanta. ANyway, hope Airtran doesn't give me a hard time about the change (or worse yet, charge for it). Other than that, I'm looking forward to AirTran. They leave from the smaller HHH airport so we don't have to mess with MSP! That's a big plus for me. Duds - would love to hear how your trip goes, so hope you report back.

MissMinnieMoo said: We were scheduled to fly AirTran out of HHH on the only early morning non stop flight. It had changed since the original reservation was made so instead of arriving around 2, we were scheduled to arrive around 7:30. I was able to get a full refund on nonrefundable tickets. We then made NWA reservations with a cheaper nonstop flight and arriving around noon! Click to expand...

6 dollars gets you a standard coach seat, but its assigned at time of purchase. more money gets you bulkhead or exit row seats. The higher priced coach seats may also get you earlier boarding priority. Im pretty sure AirTran only has a 3 and 3 seating configuration in coach(3 seats on each side of aisle) with their business class at 2 and 2
Flying out of Allentown, PA on Air Tran to Orlando, did not pay the extra $6 per person/per flight for seat assignments. Anyone ever fly this airline and waited until check-in for seats? I am flying with my husband, and 2 and 5 year olds. Kind of worried we will all be separated. The flight is currently showing 14
Thursday at 1:55, I can go online with Air Tran and do the online check-in. My question deals with seat assignments. We have 2 family groups flying together , one family of 4, one family of 3. Do we choose seats, or are seats assigned? Is there any chance we will be able to sit together, or...

Hi All, Just went online to pick seat assignments for Aug trip. I noticed that on my return flight, all of the middle seats are showing up as unavailable (A, B, C across the aisle and B is not available in any row). Do you know if this is because seat b doesnt exist? Thanks

DH and I will be taking a quick trip to WDW next week and have booked a great rate through Airtran. The last time we flew with them was a few years back and we selected our seats ahead of time. Now I notice that the seats are assigned when you get to the airport. Has anyone had any experience...
We'll be flying AirTran out of Dayton to Tampa with a stop each way, and did not want to pay the additional $6 pp per leg (total $48) to pick our seats. Having never flown AirTran before I'm just curious about a couple things: 1. Do you stand a chance of getting "better" seats if you check in rig...
