You can now book airtran flights on southwest.com using southwest gift cards or southwest points.
Also, get 2 free bags, and flight changes when you fly on airtran if tkts are booked through southwest.com

Unless they've expanded it, this is a repost of some other posts that discussed which routes they've started allowing.
But I'm hoping they do it soon.

starting today, they expanded to include most of their routes. Before today, it was only 4 or 5 routes

Kinda difficult to chk for San Juan availability w/o chk'ing each city separately. For example, when I inputted LGA - SJU w/ ATL SO, the cost was 50k one way. But ATL - SAJ was 14k.
So 2 tix would be needed. First for positioning, second for the flight.

I guess I'll wait till the next roll out in March. Or wait till SW allows CAK bookings through their website.

(Is San Juan worthwhile? Or just stick with the Vegas area and parks?)

This is great!! Most of the time I get this screen (see attached)
Any ideas when their merger will be complete? I wonder if companion pass
will work with these bookings?

I know southwest has a bad rap out there for a number of reasons
but I find it to be a lot more pleasant than American, Delta (definitely
spirit -the airline that competes in price). Free bags for those ppl who
don't have elite status at other airlines, not one, but TWO! Free snacks!
The flight attendants are usually very nice and often times very funny.
Anybody else agree?

comapnion pass works

Here's my answer:
By April you’ll be able to book all Airtran flights on Southwest.com. And in 2014 Airtran will cease to exist.
