Expect changes in your flight times. I wouldn't fly US Air if you paid me.

NUTS! Someone else told me the same thing! Back to square one. I may be able to get a nice price with SWA but I have the buy1 get1 code from tmobile. They offered some other airline. I think it may have been American airline. Not too sure. Perhaps I should just stick to what I know.

Re: I need advise on airlines

I'm a big fan of JetBlue. I would also recommend either Delta or just stick with SW their a good airline.

That's an awesome price for 2 people RT, is it straight through or are there layovers?

Its non stop. Tmobile was offering buy 1 get 1 free when you sign a new 2 year contract. I bought my daughter a cell on my line and I was able to get the free pin code. There are options for us air 1 way airtran another..some are airtran both...they actuallt have it fir $238.88 RT but they will price match so I found $59 both ways and then they add %15 and $12.50 per ticket so grand total was $160 but I heard US air is a bad airline so I'm not sure what I'm going to do.

Re: I need advise on airlines

If you have never had a problem with SWA , why are you trying another airline? We wouldn't fly anything else : )

I'm thinking of it because I do have the buy 1 get 1 free promo deal from tmobile. $160 for the 2 of us or $300 on SWA or airtran. Its a hugh savings I could use to add another night. Unless SWA has a very good ding for my dates I doubt I will beat $160 on another carrier.

If you are trying to trim the fat off the vacation and save the money and are not worried if there are delays, then do the buy one get one. If getting there on schedule is important to you, go with SWA. It's really that simple. US airways is a joke. I cannot vouch for Airtran as I have never used them before. So you have to decide if being on time is more important than saving money. the buy one get one may savie you around $160...that's a serious chunk of change that can be spent elsewhere on the vacation.

Re: I need advise on airlines

To be honest, I fly several times a year and don't care for any of them. They all suffer delays, overbook, treat you like a cattle instead of customers, and pretty much lie to your face on a regular basis. I've flown mainly Delta, American, American Eagle, Continental, and Northwest.

I've only flown SWA to WDW, and I'll have to say I was more impressed with them than any other airline in recent times.

Thanks for your advise. I love SWA but I also like getting the best deal for my money. My husband told me that we used us air once back in 2001 and didn't have a problem BUT this is is 09 and things change I'm in between saving $160 or more or spending $300. If I save the $ I'm adding another night. I'm in between. I'm going to give it till the end of april to see what SWA comes out with.

Re: I need advise on airlines

OK.. I just got off the phone with the Tmobile promo department and they found me an Airtran flight for the same $160.00 so it takes up to 14 days to process but they will lock me into the price and call me in 14 days to book so it looks like im probally going with that. All I have is a $2000 budget for 9 nights so I need to make my money go far
