I checked, but I got a better deal with Continental from RDU without a layover in ATL. Thanks for the information.

I'll be returning to Seattle on AirTran day after tomorrow. Consider me forewarned. Luckily the Everglades are far enough from our flight path we're unlikely to hit them...

I survived two back-to-back AirTran flights yesterday. The stewardesses were mostly friendly and helpful, and the pilots sounded genuine and eager to fly. The PA systems (both in the terminals and, especially, on the first flight (St Louis - Milwaukee), on the other hand, seemed unable to stay "on" long enough for the speaker to finish a sentence. And the the carry-on baggage storage allotments on the first plane (a 717, I think) was very inequitable. I actually paid $100 extra to upgrade to business class for the second leg, because I hoped to get a little sleep and didn't think it would be possible in the economy class cabin... Got about 2 hours, perhaps not really worth $100, but I'll survive.

Ed: Harup would you expand on your comment that "And the the carry-on baggage storage allotments on the first plane (a 717, I think) was very inequitable."
Where not all passenger allowed one bag (14x9x22) or other configurations totaling 45 inches, in the overhead compartments and one under the seat item?

Ed: Haruo indeed I did leave out the important modifier for the window under seat storage space;

I should have written "That is interesting because one of the "travel" sites that i looked at said the center seat has the most under seat space but the window seat the 2nd most with the aisle seat having the least."

I seriously doubt that they would have permitted you to leave any part of your brief case protruding into the aisle, as the food/beverage cart rolls in that space, with almost nothing to spare.

The two things I dislike the most about flying, are waiting for checked luggage and the mad scramble to retrieve the carry on piece from the overhead. I have learned to stay seated if possible until the elbowing is over. If I have an aisle seat I will let others out and then sit back down. It cost me five min at the most and is a whole lot less hassle. I will not check luggage unless absolutely forced.
