Say Hello To Skybus

Dec 9th, 2007 | By | Category: Columbus, General Mitchell International Airport, Megabus, Skybus

Discount airline Skybus entered the Milwaukee market on Wednesday.  The airline offers $10 flights to Columbus, Ohio once a day and from there to a lot of other destinations (again starting at $10).

The ticket prices work on a sliding scale where the first few tickets are sold for $10 and eventually sliding up to higher prices.

The system might seem vaguely familiar to you because the upstart bus company Megabus uses the same system with rides starting at $1 dollar.

    Buyer beware… if you’ve ever flown RyanAir in Europe, you know what you’re getting into here. It can be a great deal, but prepared for a HELL of a ride, loads of hidden charges, and no mercy if anything goes wrong. That’s not to say this airline won’t have a useful place, but don’t expect much!
