I know, this will sound odd, but I've never flown a US carrier before. This morning I had a notice from Air Tran that they're having a sale on. It's not for September, naturally, but it got me thinking...

I don't suppose if they eventually drop the fare on the route I booked, that I could ask for a credit for the difference? The rational part of me points out that if they did that, they wouldn't make any money, but I thought I'd ask here anyway. We're all friends, and I have less of a chance of being called a raving loony here than other places I might ask...

On the plus side for them it would mean I'd likely use Air Tran again in the near future, rather than lose the credit...

And I know Air Canada wouldn't even consider it - they never have sales anyway...
