How do I check a flight?

Question

Im going to Orlando on the 28th and flying w/ airtran and I just wanted to check to see if the flight was still going. It would only let me check flights for today and tomorow. any help?

Answer 1

Using Julie's method of starting the process of buying another ticket is a good idea, but I just want to add that if your flight doesn't show up...that doesn't necessarily mean it's cancelled.  It could just mean that the flight is still scheduled, but it's now sold out, so it doesn't list it as available for purchase.

If you want to know for sure, follow her first suggestion and call AirTran.

Answer 2

Two ways.

First, call the airline - that will tell you.

Second, get on the web site and do a search for the flight as if you were going to buy another ticket.  As long as you don't put your credit card number in, it's impossible to actually buy a new ticket, so you are safe.  It will tell you if the flight is still scheduled.

It's always a good idea to double check, especially these days when airlines are reducing their schedules.
