I love this airline! I live in Alaska and use this airline quite often. The Customer Service agents go above and beyond to seat my toddler with me when we can't get seats together at check-in. I have had a lot of other airlines just tell us to ask people on the plane which can be stressful when people are all trying to board and get situated. I have also noticed that they are one of the few airlines that still let families with kiddos board first which REALLY helps. The flight attendants have always been very friendly and usually go out of their way to make sure we have everything we need including juice for take off and landing.....nice trick for little ears. I have had many pilots talk to my little one as we board or deplane and even give him wings....which he thinks is pretty cool....

Thanks for the bargain price Sky Bus! You tried, but US Economy is so bad that you didn't make it for more than a year. I'll miss ya!

AWESOME airline! I am one of the lucky ones that got 10.00 seats & wow! what a deal! the plane was soooo incredibly roomy that even my 6' husband had plenty of legroom & NOT because we were in an exit row!! The flight attendants are sooo laid back & NORMAL looking....not at all STIFF like other high-heeled, hose-wearing attendants! LOL Watch for the new releases of the next batch of flights & enjoy! I am just hoping that they add Texas to their destinations!!!...

LibbyMcMillan says "$10 flights! $49 flights!" about Sky Bus

First ten seats are $10 each!
People, you read that right. Sky Bus sells the first ten seats on each of its flights for $10!
But if you miss out on reserving one of those, it hardly matters. The next level up is only $49. Nearly everyone can afford a $98 roundtrip flight.

How do they do that?
The company's web site is easy to use, and the way they offer lower fares is by going into far less popular airports, which are still near major metroplexes. Where I live, Southwest Florida International (at Fort Myers) is the place all the commercial carriers come in. But Sky Bus lands 30 minutes up the interstate at Charlotte County Airport. Most travelers will drive an extra half hour to save a lot of money.

Drive a Little, Save a Lot
The list of airports Sky Bus flies into is Who's Who of airports.you've never heard of. Newburgh, NY for the NYC market. Wilmington, Delaware for Philadelphia. Gary, Indiana for Chicago. And that's precisely why 10 seats...

Tapi says "More than I expected!" about Sky Bus

I felt the need to write this review because there's a lot of buzz about Skybus, some positive, and some negative but I wanted to give my "first hand account" of my travel experience. A few weeks ago, I decided to book a flight on Skybus (partly as an experiment, partly because I needed to go to Columbus).

My two options were to fly from the Atlanta Airport on Delta (20 minutes away), or fly from the Chattanooga Airport on Skybus (1hr 15 minutes away).

The airfare on Delta was $280. On Skybus, it was $76, so I selected Skybus. I booked on the skybus website (www. skybus. com) and printed my boarding pass the night before the trip. I was assigned to Boarding Group 2.

As I started driving, I began wondering if the savings would be worth the extra 55 minute drive. But upon arriving at the Chattanooga airport, I realized that it was more than worth it. First of all, I parked my car right in front of the terminal. Literally, within 2 minutes of locking my car, I was placing my bag on the...

mrkstvns says "How Can You Go Wrong with a $10 Fare? Let Me Tell You...." about Sky Bus

If you haven't seen the ads for Skybus, offering $10 fares each way to and from Columbus Ohio, then you've probably seen the dirt cheap promo deals for Spirit Airlines like their $9 deal. Sounds like the deal of the century, doesn't it?

Well, I love a deal as much as the next person (maybe even more), but there's no value in simply getting a rock-bottom price. Value comes from getting a good deal on a relatively GOOD product, and therein lies the rub, not only with Skybus, but with all of the most cut-throat cut-rate airlines. You might well be one of the "lucky" people to snag the advertised cheap prices, but you are NOT necessarily getting "a good deal".

There are a lot of reasons why you may want to AVOID el-cheapo airlines (dba "Skybus") and pay the higher price for a better travel experience. Here's a few to start you thinking:

The illusion of "savings": While a $10 fare sounds enticing, the truth is that Skybus only has 10 seats on a flight available at that price, and they're booked...

gailm says "Hard to beat the price" about Sky Bus

Sky Bus is one of the newest additions to the airline world. The name gives you a pretty good idea about it as it is very similar to using a bus. They fly out of and into smaller airports which means a lot less hassle and a much more reliable departure and arrival time. Most flights travel through their hub of Columbus, Ohio but new cities are being added. There are 10 seats on every flight that sell for $10 and yes, we did get $10 seats by booking far in advance. There are no freebies and the flight attendants seem more like sales people as they peddle everything from soft drinks to watches during the flight. They use all new airplanes with only one class and limited leg room. There is no telephone number to ask questions or contact them as all booking is done online. We enjoyed our flights and would use them again....
