Answer 1 :
Given the timing being last minute you would put more money into booking your flight through a travel agency than over the internet. Try looking up online any airline deals from Atlanta to SF, Oakland, or San Jose. For cheapest look into Southwest, they usually have a pretty good deal. Also see if Delta (its hub is Atlanta) has any available flights... they'll probably be your best bet (availability wise) due to the number of fleets they have in Atlanta.
Answer 2 :
Do your research online and find the best deal and then call a travel agent and ask them if they can match or beat it. Sometimes a travel agent can find a better rate and sometimes not. If they can't beat the rate all you have lost is a phone call. Good luck.

Answer 1 :
I honestly would go with Delta. Delta has programs with several other airlines including Northwest and Continental for domestic flights, Air Tran does not have any "partners". Another thing to look at is where you will be flying to the most on your travel, check out the maps on each airline to see what destinations they service. I know some of the airlines, in order to gain business from other airlines may help you "upgrade" to a higher level on their frequent flyer accounts. Usually a travel agent can help you with that.
Answer 2 :
Airtran is quick, safe and easy the times i've flew with delta i always got delays
Answer 3 :
When we have the option, we go with Delta. We've gotten a number of free flights to Europe, and have always been satisfied. People complain about an inordinate amount of delays, but we've never found it to be true. My husband and I like their frequent flyer program. This is not to say anything is wrong with Air Tran ... I like that you can book one leg of a trip (not necessarily roundtrip) and get good fares. In summation -- build up miles with Delta, but if it's more expedient, use Air Tran.
Answer 4 :
Delta. AirTran has the reputation as the cheap, no frills carrier (used to be called ValuJet but changed their name after a well-publicized crash). Except about 2 years ago, the prices evened out and they aren't significantly cheaper than Delta any more. But they still feel like a cheap airline.
Answer 5 :
Delta ("Diverting Everybody Living Through Atlanta") would offer you far more destination choices.

Answer 1 :
Contact Amtrack and Let them know you will be a large group traveling together. They will be helpful.
Answer 2 :
You can rule out Amtrak. The only train route they operate that stops in Atlanta goes from Washington to New Orleans, and doesn't otherwise connect with a train to Miami. I don't think you want your guests to first travel up to the northeast before being able to travel to Atlanta. Typically, the least expensive option is a bus. You may want to shop around a bit with various bus charter companies and see if you can get a better quote.

About what is the cheapest way to travel from Atlanta, GA to Huntsville, AL

What is the cheapest way to travel from Atlanta, GA to Huntsville, AL?
I, being a college kid, need to travel back home with as little money leaving my pocket as possible. I want to leave Oct. 10th and get back Oct 14th, if that helps. And also, I have a friend in Atlanta and a friend in Demorest that would probably want to come. None of us have cars on campus, but we can probably get one of our parents to pick us up and us just carpool. Would that be the cheapest?

Answer 1 :
Well, airfares from Atlanta to Huntsville on Delta are $233 roundtrip per person, and a fare I found for Greyhound from Atlanta to Huntsville is $66 per person roundtrip (non refundable). Might be cheaper to have your parents take you.
Answer 2 :
Cheapest? Walk.
Answer 3 :
Greyhound bus it, hitchhike, or walk.
Answer 4 :
It depends on what they're driving, but the car would probably be cheapest for three people. If you book in advance you can get cheaper fares on greyhound, so start thinking about your xmas trip soon.
Answer 5 :
You can find cheap flights on Tuesdays. You have to catch them they go fast. I would say the bus is cheapest but take the longest. The question is would you rather a longer trip on the road verses spending a little more and having more time for vacation? Good Luck
