Questions about Skybus Airlines?

Question

I really love commercial aviation, and I can only afford to fly about once every year or two. I have websites where I post aircraft photos that I take, and I haven't updated them in about a year, because I can't afford to fly. Skybus sounds like a great airline to fly whenever I feel like flying, or need to have chances to take photos.
I want to know if they are going to add a flight during the day time at MCI, because their only flight leaves at 10:33 p.m., and I am not great at taking night time shots, and my camera sucks.

I also want to know if they are going to add new routes from MCI, because CMH isn't the #1 airport on my list.

I also want to know if it is worth my $10. Also is the food and service on Skybus any good?

Answer 1

Hello,
I myself am an airline fanatic! I have joined a Yahoo Group concerning aviation. A couple people have posted their full trip report on Skybus Airlines. Now, I would like to share it with you. Again, this is not my opinion......
Skybus has the crappiest service. If you paid for a $10 ticket, well you got $10 service.....The food actually smelled good, though I didn't purchase it. The flight attendants didn't even know anything. One of the flight attendants on board told us that some baggage weren't going to make it on the airplane. One of those were mine. He said that the TSA probably left those bags in a corner. Sure...

Well there you have it....

Answer 2

I fly almost 100 times a year so I'm on planes all the time. They're a brand new airline so they'll probably be expanding and adding more flights. However I've looked for tickets on Skybus and they're not really any cheaper than other airlines. (They advertise those $10 one-way fares but there aren't that many of them available, and also there are still lots of taxes and fees, so in the end it doesn't make it much cheaper than other airlines - not worth the inconvenience of having very few flights).
