If Airtran flew anywhere I'd go that route. I actually went ahead and booked a few flights with my miles before the deadline for some flights I knew I was going to take. I had to get creative with my dates on December, and was able to book mid week in Feb. That leaves me with 8,000 miles. I thought about buying some and booking another to close it out, but I guess I can always wait until later if I need them. The feb flight might get changed or canceled anyway, and I'll have enough then. Just don't want to completely lose them.
