Snagged 2 round trip tickets on Skybus this morning down to Florida late this summer for $70 for both tickets, round trip....

Not really sure what we'll actually do... worse case scenerio is we don't go and take a $35 loss each and I'll grab another $65 and go to Ten's to make it an even $100. :rofl:

Punta Gorda...

You don't have to go through Columbus for cheap flights. IN fact, because they don't do connecting flights you DON'T want to go through Columbus. Bottom line, if you don't want to go to, Jacksonville/Daytona, Fort Meyers, Columbus, Greensboro, NC, or New York... go to another carrier.

i had a friend who was working for a new carrier and they had $15 tickets to ohio, and then you can fly from ohio to anywhere they service, tampa area in florida, for another $15.

Well... you can do that with Skybus... but it's a hassle and they've recently added directs to Florida from Pease.

Skybus flies year around at 10 seats on each flight $10 one way. But by all means not an airline for you. They don't have no buses like this there:

Neither do they have nothing within 2 miles to the airport. Have to learn how to drive.

i was just saying if people wanted to get closer to tampa area. its way more of a pain then the taxi fare in my opinion.

hopefully skybus's discounted fairs do not mean dangerous planes like South west tried

Who cares, it's AMERICA, you live in the best country my friend, even though you may disagree. I know dozen of people who fly skybus it's all good.

As for fares, like I said, only 10 seats on a plane are sold $10, the rest of the seats are more expensive.

Indeed, that's what I just told be50 in AIM too that my first job in USA was landscaping and taking care of palm field plantations in Cape Canaveral and in August it was sure hot, but it was fine, not the end of the world.
