Money for the Rest of Us

There’s a big pieces in travel news this week:
Skybus- an ultra-low cost ($10 plus taxes) airline opened their website for ticket sales this week. They start flying in May. There’s a really good post about it over at Upgrade Travel, so I’ll defer you to him for the details. But, when it comes down to it, this is truly a no-frills airline. For instance, you pay to check luggage and aren’t allowed to bring ANY food or drink on the plane.

I’m flying to Seattle later this summer for a wedding so I did a quick look into flying there from Richmond (a 2 hour drive from DC, but the closest airport they fly from.) You have to fly through Columbus, OH and buy your tickets separately. To get right to the point, it wouldn’t be worth it to me to save the $120 bucks that I would save by flying with them. Richmond is out of the way, as is the closest Seattle airport they fly to (Bellingham). Plus, based on the flight times, I would have to stay over night in Columbus.

I can see this being a great deal for people who live in Columbus, but that’s about it. Hopefully, though, the low prices will drive other airlines’ prices down.
