Question on Airtran upgrades

Jump to last reply
Report Abuse

I'm flying into LAX on September 13 and am trying to work out the best way of getting to Memphis on the same day.

One option is Airtran Airways (who I've never heard of, but that's OK). I'm thinking of booking their flight but am also thinking of booking it business class. In general terms, the coach fare is about $200 and the business fare is about $600 but on the airline's website it offers cheap upgrades at the time of checking in, i.e. 24 hours before the flight.

My question is this: do upgrades like this always get snapped up quickly ($99 for the LA - Atlanta leg, $49 for Atlanta - Memphis) or would I be likely to get one as a walkup at the airport a couple of hours befoire flight? My problem is that I'm flying into LA from Melbourne, which is about a kajillion-hour flight and I wouldn't be able to jump online and book the upgrades 24 hours before the flight.

Appreciate any suggestions, including any other ways of tackling this leg of my trip.

Thanks, P'chook
