Airtran and Delta now copies ALL of Airtrans fares to the penny, Southwest is another...

Yea, I think SouthWest would be our cheapest.... Alaska Airlines has some about the same price some times, but only a few.

Many of the majors now are fairly competitive with Southwest - at least if they fly out of the same airport. The problem is that each market/route is different and there isn't one consistent go-to discount airline in the U.S. There is no real subsititution to shopping around.

I'm about to book a flight on ATA to DC...never heard of it before - but it was the cheapest airline I found on mobissimo with the flight times I wanted. Not that it was much cheaper - there is simply NO equivalent in the States to the dirt-cheap EU lines.
So, anyone ever flown ATA? Do I need to bring a crash helmet?
