Web Special Cheap Seats, Do they come back?

  • Booked 1 ticket for my wife on the Web Special for a one way Ticket on Airtran.com.

    There was only one available as of last night, is there any chance another cheap seat might become available? Are my only chances of getting another cheap seat like hers is if someone cancels or do they open up more web special cheap seats closer to the flight date?

    Flight is about 3 and half months from now?

    Any chances or should I buy the next level (higher price)ticket that is available right now?


  • Just wanted to post this for others, just booked the second ticket at the cheap price, was only 1 cheap seat available 2 days ago when I booked the first one....... lo and behold another cheap one became available just a few minutes ago and I snagged it.

    Might be a way Airtran gets people to buy the next higher priced ticket by only showing 1 seat available at the cheap price........I guess its a marketing way to sell 2 seats at a time figuring people won't wait and purchase the second ticket at the higher price.

    Sort of. Modern yield management models often open up more lower fare class seats closer to departure. Getting some revenue for a seat > getting no revenue at all (so long as it doesn't push the flight into an oversell).

    All this is assuming you are talking about the weekend sale fares.

    EDIT: I just reread your post and saw this was for a flight 3 months out.


  • Guess everyone is afraid to admit they buy the cheap seats ? 89 views and no replies.......


  • I have found it to be a hit and miss on the pricing for the specials. I typically just buy what I need when I go to do it. I guess I am one of the ones the airlines like. I hate checking back daily or more often.

    Guess I could never truly be a mileage runner!
