Check in Times and Problems on AirTran

Many low cost or budget carriers run a strict check in system at all of their departure points. What that means is that if you arrive at the check in counter outside of their designated time schedule, they may deny you travel. This refusal can be even if the flight is still a long way from departing.

Check in times can vary depending on the type of flight you are taking. It is important to check the conditions of your ticket a few days before your scheduled departure. And if you want to ensure you can catch your flight, make sure you are at check in well before the advised time.

Lost or Delayed Baggage Luggage on AirTran

Every airline in the world has lost or delayed a piece of passenger luggage. All passengers should understand that there is a small chance that their baggage will be mislaid, lost or stolen.

However, it is how airlines such as AirTran deals with the lost, misplaced, delayed or stolen luggage that is the biggest issue. The one thing most passengers want is to be reunited with their possessions as quickly as possible. Particularly when they have arrived at their first destination.

However, if they cant get their baggage quickly, passengers expect that an airline will do all they can to retrieve the item, and keep the passenger informed of the search. And it stands to reason that people will want some form of compensation for the loss or delay, if only a small amount to purchase essential items.
