having used this forum for many months, i have not seen any replies from flyers who use airtran airways. this former valujet is apparently alive and well, and has managed to keep an order for 50 new md 95 jets (boeing 717) jets. Now, crashes aside, i feel that new planes are a good reason to try them. they do fly out of l.a guardia and do offer competitive prices. does anyone have any comments on them???
