A320 vs. B717 to Vegas ?
Going to Vegas tomorrow evening from Atlanta.
Per Expedia, the plane is an Airbus A320, however I know that Airtran is putting more and more of the Boeing 717s in service.
Which type of aircraft am I most likely to experience... given the distance and the fact that it is being operated by Ryan?
Thanks,
Jeff
PS - It probably won't make too much difference since I've got Seat 2D (thanks to a Upgrade), but I am curious.

Right now if you fly out of ATL nonstop to LAS you will fly the A320. If you fly through DFW you fly on the 717. the 737s are flying to SFO and LAX but I hear LAS will be the last to transition to the 737 which will take place NOV 11th.

No B717 on that route unless you stop in connect in DFW. The A320 they have on the route now is just fine. Worth the $$$ to upgrade to business though.
Have fun!
