skybus.com only had a few destinations too. I checked this out a couple weeks ago and they only had a couple stops. They were cheap but if you can only go to 3 or 4 places then it really doesn't help too much.

Folks, Skybus is a BRAND SPANKING NEW airline. They don't even begin revenue service until 5/22. They will add more routes as time passes. Give them time to catch up, and they could eventually serve Cleveland, or more likely Akron-Canton.
A few things to be aware of w/ Skybus: It's true that the first 10 seats on every flight will be sold for $10 each (even to California!), but you have to add taxes and security fees to that. Also, it's a "no-frills" airline, and they mean NO FRILLS. Be prepared to board via the old-fashined "air stairs, not a modern jetway. This is another way of cutting costs. They DO accomodate wheelchairs, but I'm not sure of the exact methods they use. Also, you'll pay if you want something to drink or a snack, and there is no in-flight entertainment. You're allowed one checked bag; after that there's a fee ($50 I think). Your ticket is TOTALLY non-refundable, so be exactly sure of your plans when you book. I'm going to fly with them probably within the first year to try them out, so I'm not trying to discourage anyone. Just know that if you like to be "pampered," this isn't the airline for you. Their aircraft are brand new Airbus A319s, so you don't have to worry about that aspect.
