Will Airtan ever fly to AUS?
I've never posted in this forum (so thank you in advance for your responses)but I am SO sick of having to drive to HOU or DFW to get a cheap flight to ATL, and was wondering if anyone with any "insider knowledge" could encourage me and tell me that Airtran will be coming to Austin soon, or at least someday!!? Correct me if I'm wrong but I feel like it would do quite well here. Any thoughts?

That's too bad. I used to live in San Antonio and emailed AirTran at least once a quarter about starting service to the Austin/San Antonio area. We could definitely use a low fare carrier to the East. As far as San Antonio goes, AirTran could also start service from San Antonio to the West (say Los Angeles and/or San Francisco -- although UA Express now serves LAX and SFO with CRJ's).

I hope that you are right about Seattle and San Diego. (Hopefully they will fly from those cities to LAS in addition to ATL.)
