R.I.P. Skybus Airlines
Well, it was good while it lasted.
I only flew Skybus Airlines once, but I was planning on flying it again next month. None of that matters now that the company has folded.
Last year, I flew into Oakland’s ghetto airport, so I could visit Kiwi. The roundtrip fare cost me about $165. The other airlines were charding $300+. So, I have been singing Skybus’ praises ever since then.
If the financial situation weren’t so tight for me in the past 8 months, I probably would have flown Skybus 2-3 more times. The earlier you purchase, the cheaper the fares!
Back in March, I should have known something was up when I was researching fares for a May trip back to NorCal. The Skybus fares were actually more than the bigger airlines. That should have been my big warning flag.
So now, I have to look to the big overpriced airlines again. Skybus is just one of 3 airlines that folded last week. Anyone who says we aren’t in a recession is in denial.
