Airtran Upgrades
« on: October 25, 2011, 10:29:14 PM »
I tried searching in the forums but didn't find anything on Airtran upgrades so I apologize if this has already been discussed before.

I am trying to figure out what the cost or most efficient way to upgrade tickets from PHL to SFO connecting through ATL.  On the website it says to upgrade at the airport, I'm wondering if they have vouchers or "regional wide" upgrades like UA. 

If anyone can help me it would be greatly appreciated, I need to upgrade 3 tickets.

4 Airtran credits gets you a systemwide upgrade.  Otherwise you can buy-up at checkin.
Save your time, I don't answer PM. Post it in the forum and a dedicated DDF'er will get back to you as soon as possible.

Can people transfer airtran credits?  Also, any idea on the going rate for 4?  I'm assuming that also just one way. 

So for 3 RT tickets, that 24 airtran credits? 

Thanks in advance Dan.

AMEX points can transfer into Airtran credits.
4 is for a one-way.

Not sure if I can post this here but is anyone interested in selling me 24 airtran credits?  Not sure what the value is.

There's no buying of selling of miles allowed on DDF.

Are you worried about the legal/contractual ramifications? Was always interested to know.

If you book a flight through an a2b account, do you get upgraded?

 I thought it has to do with the "exclusive mile buyer' on DansDeals.com

Once again, quick to accuse and slow to properly think, or g-d forbid, be dan l'kaf z'chus.

Go ahead, post your miles for sale, I couldn't care less.  But don't come whining back to me when the airlines take away your miles, cancel your award tickets, and ban you for life once they figure out who you are.

I didn't mean anything negative. Its completely legitmate for you to sell the rights on your website.

I'm not sure why you feel attacked... I posted an innocent question 4 days ago which you chose to ignore or didn't see. In either case, the silence led to innocuous conjecture.

The above answer (albeit with a bit less flippance) would have answered it.

All in all, thank you for answering.
