Oh AirTran!

So I know in a previous post I wasnt too nice about AirTran Airways but now that I have a three hour layover in Baltimore Airport I think I have to retract some of those comments.

The flight crew on my flight was amazing and were very attentive.

We will start when I got to the airport. I wasn't about to lug my bag around with me the whole trip so I did pay the $15 to check my bag to Indianapolis. Not a problem and I was happy to pay it.

When I got to my terminal, apparently the flight wasn't full and I was upgraded to business class on my segment ($69 value) for free. Unlimited drinks in business class. Yay!

One thing AirTran does have over Southwest Airlines is the internet aboard every flight. Sure, its $4.95 per segment or $12.95 for a 24 hour pass but totally worth it. Also, there is a promotion code that will save you like 20% on in flight internet, just ask what it is (its been "airtran20" lately).

Speaking of internet, it's kind of funny. I put on my Twitter that I just got upgraded to business class and my friend Meghann replied back that she too was on an AirTran flight from Orlando to Washington, DC.  Small world. Meghann and I were talking back and forth on gmail chat for about thirty minutes until we came on final approach and I had to put my netbook up. If you have never checked out Meghann's blog, you can check it out here.

So AirTran, I was wrong what I said and what I talked about you in my earlier post, I had a preconceived notion of your flights and I was wrong. I should know better because I get aggravated about people who talk crap about cruising when they have never been. I have been on AirTran before but it has been years. Clearly people will pay the extra charges. Although I still think its jacked up charging for advanced seat assignments! :)

Right now I am sitting at a bar in Baltimore airport called Bateman's Bistro, it's nothing to write home. BWI doesn't even have free wireless here (boo!) but they do have seafood! I just ordered a cup of of crab soup and crab sliders... they are famous for crab right?  After dinner I am going to scout out the Baltimore Airport and let you know what in the hell there is to do here.
