Skybus raised $160 million dollars before they went wheels up on May 22nd--more than any other start up--ever. While we all know ten dollar flights are the hook, it is the in-flight sales that both employees and investors are counting on to help buoy the bottom line.
Will it work?
Ok, the Skybus flight review is live via tape delay today.
The biggest question readers were asking us before launch centered around the Skybus flight attendants.
How do I become a Skybus Flight Attendant? What will they wear? Will they be hot? How much will they get paid? Are they going to have to sell, sell, sell?
You have questions, we have answers.
All leather seats, a new plane smell, and the configuration did not seem drastically out of whack. The flight was not full, so there was a middle seat buffer in play during our flight.
As promised, there is no in-flight entertainment and opportunities for you to spend money on everything from food to t-shirts are tossed your way throughout the flight.
Not sure passengers will want to fly across the U.S. in these planes, unless you snag a $10 ticket on each leg of your flight, but for short flights they should be fine, as long as they stay relatively grot free.
Skybus flight number one, which took off from Columbus Ohio and landed at Pease in Portsmouth New Hampshire shortly before 9 a.m. this morning, was a big deal for the Portsmouth economy.
Early this morning we drove ourselves to the long dormant Pease airport in Portsmouth New Hampshire and boarded Skybus flight number two, which landed in Columbus Ohio not too long ago. Fellow passengers included Skybus CEO Bill Diffenderffer and the companies chief operating officer Ken Gile. Also, plenty of college kids and young families, psyched to shell out just $10 each way to visit family, were on the A319. The flight itself was smooth and landed at 11:11 am, just a couple minutes late. For now we will leave you with a video of us heading out to the plane at Pease. Our uncontrollably shaky camera work shows that we must have been extremely excited to board the plane. Stay tuned for plenty more.
