Airtran Student Standby Back for '10

By , About.com GuideJanuary 28, 2010

Follow me on:

Airtran's student standby program, Airtran U, is back from its annual holiday break and back to giving 18-23 year old students a break with $69-$99 standby fares through through 12/15/2010. Amazingly, you can get a good deal plus frequent flyer credit for standby flights from Airtran (which is the only real US standby program around to begin with, and it's just for you).

Standby may work well for last minute trips, but it can be a drag to deal; lotsa blackout dates, too -- if the Airtran calendar doesn't work for you, consider catching the bus or train for last minute travel at a student discount.

I needed info, I googled ‘Mexico driving permit’ and up came this great source! We sell the insurance for travel, but we don’t make the rules… we some times have to research… thanks for supplying advise and counsel. marcy@mexinsure.com
