Flying on Skybus


I've received some positive reports on Skybus Airline. They are the new budget start up airline offering flights from Columbus, OH.


Most passengers were pleasantly surprised & pleased with the check in experience and the flights.


Biggest complaint was slow food & beverage service aboard the planes. Skybus does not permit you to bring your own snacks & drinks on board so you have to wait and buy it from them. I feel that this is carrying it a little too far and maybe in the near future this policy will be changed.


You pay for everything-checked bags, priority boarding, etc. But with fares as low as $10.00 each way shelling out another $10.00 or so for a golf bag doesn't seem bad.
