I just booked tickets for September on Airtran. I was wondering what they would do if the fare went down (I am signed up with YAPTA for email alerts for my flights). I emailed and this is the info they sent me regarding fare price reductions:

Should you find a fare offered at www.airtran.com, which is lower than the fare you originally purchased at www.airtran.com, AirTran Airways will honor a fare adjustment in the form of an airline credit. AirTran Airways does not match fares offered by other airlines, or by other travel websites.

Please be advised, all fares and schedules are subject to change without notice. Our special fares are available for a limited number of seats and are very popular with our customers.

Once your fare adjustment has been processed, the remaining funds will be placed into a credit file with AirTran Airways. Your credit will be valid for one year from the original date of booking. Your credit will be transferable, and may be applied towards travel to any AirTran Airways destination. Your new travel will not have to be completed by the expiration date of your credit file, only booked.

If you would like to request a fare adjustment, please contact our Reservations desk at 1-800-247-8726.

Hope this helps someone get some money back!

Thanks, hope this works! I booked 5 flights at $79 each way a few days ago and many of them just dropped to $59.

Edit: WORKS, but they charge a $10 processing fee? Oh well, I got $10 per flight back.

They just did the same thing to me. Kinda BS but whatever...I hate airlines, they always find ways to d*ck you around.
