Use Southwest Drink Coupons?
I did a quick search and didn't find an answer so I'd like to ask the experts here.
Mrs bj2757 and I are flying to see my in-laws in November on AirTran. I will need several drinks before landing :-) I have drink coupons from Southwest I probably won't use by then (and they expire shortly after). Any chance I'd be able to use them on the AirTran flights? Thanks. |

As an Airtran flight attendant eloquently (jokingly) said to a passenger the other day, "Do you see Southwest Airlines painted on this plane? When you see that, we can take those coupons, until then it will be $6." :p

Hehe - thanks :-)

Since it's a ways off a letter sent to Gary Kelly might just get a favorable response.
Especially if you put it forth exactly as you did here! It made me laugh and I can relate. If you could mail Herb it would seem like a shoe-in. ;) |

FWIW, it doesn't cost anything to ask the FA. I'd give it a try. I've found most FL FA's to be very accommodating, particularly with their A+ Elite members. |
Actually, the new lanyards for those that have them are "One LUV" bearing both Southwest and Airtran logos.

Now AirTran accepts Southwest drink coupon
I just returned from my trip with AirTran about two weeks ago and they now accept southwest coupon drink. Luckily I had the coupons with me :)
|
I was recently told by an Airtran Elite telephone agent that the policy is now for both airlines to accept the others coupons.
I haven't tried yet and expect there to be confusion in the ranks. Good Luck and report any results ;) |

It was a no for me
I tried to use them in January and was told 'NO".

I used a SW coupon on an AirTran flight in March.

The official notification to Employees to accept "both on either" went out mid-February. Allowing a few weeks for the word to spread, it seems to be pretty smoothly bi-directional now.

Is this official? Spirit Magazine makes no mention of it. If WN ever does another big merger hopefully they don't take this "world's slowest integration" approach. I can't stand AirTran between the uncomfortable seats, assigned seating, lack of PreCheck, and incompatible wifi systems. 12/28/14 can't come soon enough.
I can't believe you prefer the Southwest Evolve seating to Airtran coach, I guess everyone has different taste. |
