The sale on airfare to “all destinations” by the low-cost carrier AirTran Airways will end promptly on May 13, 2010, indicated by an online announcement from the airline released today. These fares are for travel between the dates of May 21, 2010 and November 17, 2010, inclusive. AirTran has traditionally advised its customers and its potential customers that their fares for flights departing on Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Saturdays are less expensive than their fares for flights departing on the other four days of the week. And AirTran specifically notes in its announcement from this morning that scheduling travel with the airline so that it falls on Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and/or Saturdays will tend to offer lower fares.

These especially low fares to “all destinations” can be purchased no later than May 13, 2010. But if travelers purchase the sale fares over the next two days through www.airtran.com, there is no one-way penalty, and no overnight stay required on round-trips. Prices listed on the sale page are one-way, and a ten-day advance purchase is required.

During the window of time when travel must take place, there are certain blackout dates, when air travelers with AirTran must travel for normal price. Moreover, fares listed as part of this sale do not include certain taxes, which can add a significant amount to the overall cost. These fares also do not include any baggage carry-on or check fees.

Other terms and conditions than those mentioned here, apply.
