AirTran Airways Announces New Checked Bag Policy

- New Policies for Checked Baggage for Travel Beginning on May 15, 2008 -

ORLANDO, Fla., April 11, 2008 /PRNewswire-FirstCall via COMTEX/ — AirTran
Airways, a subsidiary of AirTran Holdings, Inc. (AAI), announced today changes in
its checked bag policy. Complete details of the new policy are available at
http://www.airtran.com.

Effective immediately, customers who are traveling on or after May 15, 2008, may
check one bag free and a second bag for a $10 fee. The fee will not apply for
passengers who hold Elite status in AirTran Airways’ A+ Rewards frequent flier
program, or ticketed passengers traveling in Business Class. The airline will
continue to allow passengers to check additional bags for a $50 fee per
additional bag. As with the previous policy, weight and size restrictions apply.
Passengers can also continue to use AirTran Airways’ EasyFit storage bins on
every flight.

“AirTran Airways is committed to keeping our fares low for all passengers.
However, in the face of record fuel costs, it is necessary to charge a nominal
fee for passengers choosing to check a second bag,” said Kevin Healy, senior vice
president of marketing and planning for AirTran Airways. “This change will allow
our customers the choice and flexibility they want and it enables the airline to
keep costs down for all passengers.”

AirTran Airways, a Fortune 1000 company, offers more than 700 affordable, daily
flights to 58 U.S. destinations. With 8,900 friendly Crew Members and America’s
youngest all-Boeing fleet, AirTran Airways provides XM Satellite Radio and
Business Class seating on every flight. For more information and free online
