Skybus Planning International Routes

September 13, 2007 at 12:15 PM | by | Comment (1)

The Greyhound of the skies just got a little more ambitious: Having secured permission earlier this summer to run international flights, Skybus may be starting its Mexico and Bahamas routes as early as October 1, according to the Columbus Dispatch.

We're not convinced that will happen since Skybus hasn't confirmed any schedules yet. And tickets--$10 or otherwise--are not yet on sale for Nassau, Freeport or Cancun, despite the fact that they could launch service less than three weeks from now.

Sure it's about time Americans got a low-cost, international, European-style carrier. Then again, it might not be worth it if unbelievable deals turn into unbelievable delays. And, of course, there's the matter of turning Columbus into an international hub. If Skybus makes this happen by October 1, we'll be mightily impressed.

Well

Of course it's great with cheap flight tickets but my experience tells me that it is often delays and cancelations while travelling with the cheap companies.
Have to say I love the design of the plane on the picture though.
