I would be arriving in Atlanta at 9AM, departing at 10AM. As far as checking on-time performance, as of the day before (Sept 4th) the Atlanta flight is a new time (two hours earlier), so I don't really have much to go on.
I'll likely go with Frontier. Can't trust what Midwest will do with schedule, and I'm nervous about the Atlanta layover.
I was just in DC a few weeks ago (flew Midwest) and the Airtran flight to Atlanta was 2 hours delayed, everyone was in line likely to rebook connecting flights, maybe that was a hint of what could happen
I'm sure if I don't do Airtran, the flight would have been perfectly on time!
Thanks for the responses.
