Scratch that.

In keeping with our recent travel luck or lack thereof, our flight has been cancelled. For no apparent reason.

Right, then.

We will be going to Arizona tomorrow. Hypothetically.

Carry on.

(If anyone's available to get us to the airport tomorrow 'round 10 AM, let us know?)

The reason given in their system was "plane unavailable".

Nyargh.

They could have gotten us on one that would have gotten us there at 2:30 AM, with layovers and plane changes, but... no. Just no. So. Tomorrow.

I agree re: compensation. We're writing to AirTran about a similar situation that occurred in December. We've just had horrible travel luck lately.

I was telling Mark about this,but to make it esier please go read this articale before letting it go

Rule 240?

For next time: http://www.dailycandy.com/travel/article/30060/Fight+for+Your+Flight

"Here’s the deal: If flight troubles are due to mechanical difficulties or airline incompetence," (read as: not enough pilots around who can legally fly, or other non-weather issues) "and another airline can get you to your destination sooner, the original airline is obligated to transfer you. No, this doesn’t include weather delays. But once the sky clears, the airline should book you on the next flight. All the big legacy carriers have a Rule 240 provision, but some low-fare flyers do not (like JetBlue, though we love their Bill of Rights)."

It's hit or miss, but it's always worth a shot, and it beats showing up at 2:30 AM.

(Unless y'did throw a 240, at which point it's "oh well".)

*nods* We tried. Continental had a flight they could *maybe* get us on, but it wouldn't have been much better.
