TimTaylor751647545500 Posted March 19, 2008 Report Share Posted March 19, 2008 For those that don't get email notifications, more $10 flights on Skybus were announced today. Looks like they're priced through September. Just an FYI. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrMeanGreen Posted March 19, 2008 Report Share Posted March 19, 2008 The site must be getting slammed, it's slow as shit right now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TimTaylor751647545500 Posted March 19, 2008 Author Report Share Posted March 19, 2008 Yeah, they really should anticipate heavy traffic better than they do on notification day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amy Posted March 19, 2008 Report Share Posted March 19, 2008 Yeah Sky Bus can have those $10 dollar flights because 80% of the time they are cancelled and your stuck in airport's for 2-3 days. Just seems like if you really need a cheap ticket, that's the way to go, but other carrier's like Midwest, US Airways and Delta are a much better avenue to persue as far as air travel and also noramlly very reasonable also. Just my $ .02 cents. :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrMeanGreen Posted March 19, 2008 Report Share Posted March 19, 2008 I'm Preferred on US Airways and already have two round-trip vouchers available. The pricing isn't too bad, although I don't pay for my flights I had my Niagara Falls trip booked via Skybus (for my anniversary in May that won't happen anymore, yay!) and they no longer fly there. I've emailed them to find out WTF. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TimTaylor751647545500 Posted March 19, 2008 Author Report Share Posted March 19, 2008 We've had the debate about their quality, but this was mainly to let people know about the new dates/fares. Both times I've flown them, I've had no issues. Trips 3 & 4 are scheduled for April & June, so I'm hoping to keep the trend going. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Putty Posted March 19, 2008 Report Share Posted March 19, 2008 Got on a call at 6am this morning telling me this. I got on by 6:30 and the site was so damn slow I was not able to book anything. I had my $10 flights selected, but when I hit book....it just hung there. I refreshed...those were $45...selected another date, book...frozen...said FUCK IT!

MrMeanGreen Posted March 20, 2008 Report Share Posted March 20, 2008 They cancelled all Niagara Falls flights, so I get a refund. Good thing too, that was my anniversary trip which there's not gonna be an anniversary now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TimTaylor751647545500 Posted March 21, 2008 Author Report Share Posted March 21, 2008 Mine was bigger than the allowed size, but I don't think quite 3" though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TimTaylor751647545500 Posted March 21, 2008 Author Report Share Posted March 21, 2008 Honestly, I can't remember, but there was no shortage of over-head space by any means. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LJ Posted March 21, 2008 Report Share Posted March 21, 2008 Honestly, I can't remember, but there was no shortage of over-head space by any means. Cool, my friend is a Jet Blue attendant and she said they have the same planes and that skybus uses the 19" rule so that your bag will go in longways to save space.... but their $9.75/hour attendants wont care enough to say anything if it gets through security Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smokin5s Posted March 21, 2008 Report Share Posted March 21, 2008 too bad there aren't flights to Vegas for that price! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TimTaylor751647545500 Posted March 21, 2008 Author Report Share Posted March 21, 2008 Yeah, there's been talks of them opening a port in Vegas, but haven't heard any updates on that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amy Posted April 17, 2008 Report Share Posted April 17, 2008 Well no flights anywhere since the losers went out of business. Thank god I work for the airlines and was able to help my friends get home since they left thousands of people stuck all over the place. What a terrible way to do business no wonder they went under. Btw, Delta and Northwest have now merged! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kinkinhood Posted April 17, 2008 Report Share Posted April 17, 2008 Watch it eventually turn into one airline company for all the US. The new motto will be "What, do you think a train will get you there?" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
