Pros: Cheap flights, some flights have business class, friendly staff--excellent aircraft maintenance record Cons: If my experience is typical, you may well experience delays
In our recent quest to travel to Chicago for the Epinions Meet and Greet, it fell to me to make the travel arrangements. Not being one to shy away from an airline I've never had the opportunity to fly before, I jumped at the chance to try ...
Pros: kind of cheap, on time, cool head-rests on some planes Cons: no space, loud, turbulent, not that cheap
American Trans Airlines (ATA) is one of the most budget of all the budget airlines in the US. When my mom went to Boston's Logan Airport to pick me up, she couldn't find ATA's monitors listing flight information... because they didn't have any in...
Pros: Pleasant staff, clean new planes Cons: Disorganized, lousy change/cancellation policy, non-existent "snacks"
I originally wrote this review on January 1, 2001, after my first round-trip flight on ATA. In late January, I made another round-trip flight because they had given us discount coupons as compensation for screwing up so badly on the first trip. So...
Pros: Nonstop flights. Cons: No first class...not that I could afford it anyway.
American Trans Air is an airline with its beginnings in Indianapolis, IN. As this is my departure airport of choice, I have had some opportunities to fly on ATA. Indianapolis is not a major destination, therefore, flights from here to most cities require...
Pros: Cheap, nice seats, nice staff Cons: Lost hub at Newark made us spend more for our vacation
Ah! Here they are: the cheapest airline on the net for travel from NJ to Denver via Chicago Midway airport. The reasons they are cheap? One is their ability to forego paying their bills by going into Chapter 11 reorganization and closing their hubs in ...
Pros: Inexpensive, convenient and on time. Cons: Seating is a little tight.
We have flown ATA from San Francisco to Maui and return four times. Each of the trips were booked through Pleasant Holidays. The first three times ATA was chosen by the AAA travel agent. The fourth time we booked our trip via the web and specifically r ...
Pros: Low Price, Friendly Crew Cons: The Food: Scary
When I fly to Hawai’i, I’ve done it the simplest way possible--I call my travel agent who books a direct flight via United. It’s been a quick, done deal. But this trip, I discovered it was going to cost over $700 for a quick flight to the islands. I...
Pros: Cheap last-minute fares, good destinations Cons: Loud, cramped, uncomfortable, crowded, bad security
I'm not a heavy traveler. In fact, I took two trips of over a thousand miles in 15 years. However, with a recent move to a fairly remote part of Michigan, I found myself making repeated trips between Flint and and my hometown of Seattle, Washington. ...
Pros: Inexpensive, very nice personnel Cons: Passengers packed in like sardines, very few options if flight is canceled
I booked a ticket to fly on ATA from Chicago-Midway to Sarasota, Florida in March. The ticket was $196 round trip, direct flight leaving at 7:05 a.m. on Wednesday returning at 8:20 p.m. the following Wednesday (great flight times as far as my needs...
Pros: Cheap, friendly crew, not uncomfortable accommodations Cons: Cheap - corners ARE cut to make it so affordable; depends on your priorities
Recently I read a review where the writer claimed the only good thing that came from his ATA flight was, "...it didn't crash." Yikes! I took this little gem with me all the way to Boston's Logan International Airport on January 15, 2004. I flew ...
Pros: Deep discount fares, friendly crew, outstanding safety record, vouchers for inconvenience they cause Cons: On-time performance could improve
I'm ambivalent about how I should rate ATA. On one hand, everything about ATA (except as noted in the following sentence) is -- in my opinion -- good to excellent, especially for a deep discount airline. The one and only negative aspect is its on-time ...
Pros: Excellent price for airfare and scheduling was great. Employees great overall. Cons: Honolulu terminal is confusing, and the attitude by the agent/employees did not help.
My wife, sister and I flew from Seattle/Tacoma(SEA) to Honolulu(HNL) on August 6th, returning on the 8th. Overall the experience was good. The price and schedule was excellent. The only negative experience was the cluster#*#@ that is Honolulu which I ...
Pros: If you are on time for your flight and you get bumped, you may be compensated with free round trip tickets! Cons: flights routinely overbooked
At first, my husband and I thought it would be a great idea to take off with the kids (ages 7 and 4) to Orlando for 5 days and see Mickey's Magic Kingdom.
We got 4 round trip tickets to Florida from our friendly travel agent. Our flight...
