This seems insane.

I always give entrepreneurs, especially in an industry as mature as the airline industry, the benefit of the doubt. That is, they must have thought through the no-phone-number plan, particularly in event of a snowstorm in Columbus, .

Apparently, GSO is doing really well so far and although the pax mix was heavily leisure-oriented, there were no "Ma and Pa Kettle" types. Mostly people bound for Ohio or North Carolina cities or those who hadnt checked bags. I overheard the ground agents and of the 129 pax (144 seats), only 60 had checked bags.

People were buying food and drinks at almost every aisle (which honestly surprised me). The crew was young, but funny (a la Southwest) and even offered to have the inflight messages sponsored if a company would pay for it.

All in all, this was a very pleasant experience, and everyone on the plane was complimenting the airline and the fares. I'd give Skybus two thumbs up (although I still prefer Delta any day)! ;)

I can just see it now... "This reminder to fasten your seatbelt is brought to you by AllState, where you're in good hands" :rolleyes:

In all the reviews I read about SkyBus they state "for $10 it was worth it" or some variation of that statement. The problem is only 10 seats per flight are sold for $10. Will it be "worth it" for passengers when the savings are not as great??

Has anyone been busted for bringing their own food/drink on board yet? Curious how that's working out.

I guess that quick turnaround time thing isnt working out so well for old Skybus.

On another note, my friends said its not that bad a ride, and the whole interior of the plane was brand new CMH-BUR. They said a lot of selling is going on.
