Is anyone here familiar with the Skybus? I just got an email saying that some fares were as low as $10. I am sure that is for the shorter flights, but that is the cheapest I have heard about airfare since 7/07/07. Is this a new airline opening in such a supposedly poor economy? Anyone have any information on them?

Yes this was a nice airline until it recently went under due fuel cost. :-(

If they were selling tickets that cheap, it is no surprise. I am glad to see fuel prices are finally starting to go down. Although, I am not expecting it to last long with the coming changes that OPAC has in order. Thanks for your response and have a great day!

It seems like all of the ones that I have flown on for the past 4 years have went to this policy. I guess it is supposed to be a way of saving for the consumer. Although, I think a couple of times I got peanuts or a cookie for free. And some of them included a drink. It is good to know that skybus is the same though. I am definitely going to keep an eye out for these inexpensive flights now. Thanks for your help and have a great day posting!

Usually the 1st couple seats are $10. You have to book asap if you want a cheaper flight...My dad used it this winter, and it was pretty cheap.
