AirTram Airlines just announced a new sale. Check their website.

Thanks, just checked their website and they don't do any non stop
flights. Also if we want an assigned seat, the price is not that much
below usair.

Hi Sue,

You might want to do a little research on their financial situation
before you commit to a ticket that far in advance. FWIW, I would not
book and pay for multiple tickets with them for this far in advance.

Ray,

Are you talking about AirTran, USAir or both?

Sue with AirTran you can do checkin, seat selection up to 24 hours before
flight time online and print your boarding pass.

Sue Ray was speaking only of USAir who is probably heading back into bankruptcy
with a very uncertain future. AirTran has been profitable for 8 consecutive
quarters and has 110 new Boeing airplanes on order. Also Travel Guard will not
cover USAir if they should go under.

Good to know for future use, but we won't be using them for New Orleans.
Kevin and I both insist on nonstop flight if they are available.

I have my Travel Guard policy in front of me and it doesn't list USAir
under "no financial default coverage". It does list "United Airlines and
all of its subsidiaries". My two choices for a nonstop flight are United
or USAir.

Thanks Ray!

If all you were concerned about was Bankruptcy, then that's fine, but if
they are forced to cut back flights or change their schedules and your
flight is one of the ones it happens to, then you may not be covered.

Not that either is a great choice for long term travel plans at this time.
