Skybus to Cut Flights and Add More
Rats! Be still my heart. I just heard that Skybus is canceling its Columbus to Bellingham flights starting in the spring.
I wrote that line last Thursday after I heard it on one of my local news stations, but I couldn't get a confirmation if this was indeed fact. Skybus wasn't talking on their website and whatever I did find, was a vague might. Today, it's official. My husband even called me downstairs with the news. "No more flights to Bellingham," he said, pointing to the headlines on the front page of the paper. I, of course, went into my, "Oh, I knew that," mode.
What a disappointment. Besides Bellingham's flights ceasing in March, so is the San Diego route and one of the LA flights. Triple darn. My husband was getting ready to book a cheap flight to San Diego to see his cousin. I do have to say, that if you plan ahead, you can get a flight to Seattle for almost as cheap as our Bellingham flight was this summer. By the time we were finished paying for luggage, two beverages and priority boarding, I think we were up to $360 a piece. I'd rather pay a little more for the service and not have to be at the airport with a child before the crack of dawn.
Skybus has a new round of $10 tickets through May on all their locations, but we can't make up our minds where we want to go or when. It's too hard making decisions so early in the morning and by the time the caffiene has kicked in, it'll be too late for us, but if you're awake, go for it. There are more flights to Ft. Meyers, Florida and Greensboro, North Carolina now, and you can fly directly from Portsmouth, New Hampshire without going through Columbus on a few of the flights.
