A Festivus For the Rest of Us- AirTran Airways Announces 12 Days of December Deals

ORLANDO, Fla., Dec. 1, 2010 /PRNewswire/ -- AirTran Airways, a subsidiary of AirTran Holdings, Inc. (NYSE: AAI), today launched a special 12-day "Festivus For the Rest of Us" sale.

Over the next 11 days, the sale will feature new and exciting destinations each day with special fares valid for one day only. Today's feature kicks off with special fares to a Caribbean getaway – Montego Bay, Jamaica – providing rest and relaxation to those who may have just completed a Festivus Feat of Strength.

Similar to the humble beginnings of Festivus that eventually gained legendary status, the sale will grow into something larger each day. Special fares will be posted daily at www.airtran.com/festivus and the number of destinations on sale will correspond with the day of the sale (i.e. seven destinations on sale on day seven, etc.). A final surprise will be unveiled on the 12th day, December 12.

"Our research shows that high fares are commonly cited in the Festivus Airing of Grievances," said Tad Hutcheson, AirTran Airways' vice president of marketing and sales. "We don't want cost to stand in the way of seeing friends and family no matter what holiday they observe."

Travelers can purchase these Festivus fares online, from their local travel agent or via AirTran Airways' reservations system at 1-800-AIR-TRAN. For Spanish, call 1-877-581-9842.
