Fare class for Award Travel on AirTran?
Can someone tell me what fare class AirTran uses for award travel? I'd like to use Appolo to look at availability. Seems a lot easier than calling and pestering the CSR for an hour!

O = A+ rewards coach
S = A+ rewards business class
Z = Marketing certificate/bump voucher coach
F = Marketing certificate business class
I doubt that the award classes will show up on Apollo, though, as they are hidden even on most AirTran agents' availability screens on the internal res system. Only A+/special services agents can see them.

Hmmm, well, I guess I'll call them up and pester the agents!
Thanks.
Thanks.

I have been told bump vouchers use the same availability as award tickets. Can anyone confirm if this is true? If it comes from a different bucket as stated above is it the same availability or more or less than award availabiltiy?

How easy is it to redeem a business class award on Air Tran. Is there more availability compared to coach?
