well first: the sky bus was not that interesting and should not be confused with the air bus. its just a regular plane with no ammenities. the crew going from oakland to columbus was delightful, the crew coming back was fine... but in columbus (their home!) the boarding was so disorganized that it was difficult. preboarding meant you went first, everyone else piled on immediately after and it was difficult to get settled. in columbus, the plane is boarded both front and back and people from the back had come all the way forward before we got steve out of his wheelchair and the carry-ons stowed. o and beware: the carry-one size is minute. a standard carry-one that is normal for another airline is too large for skybus and must be checked. one of mine was two inches too large but quite easily fits in the overhead of other planes. you pay $5 to check each of your first bags and $50 for the third. you pay for your food and drink onboard (which is acceptable) but you are not allowed to bring your own food or drink onboard (which is unacceptable) and they do not even offer water for free. you can however hide your own food in your minute carry-on and nobody seems to care, not that i know anyone who did that! they also offer "gifts" for sale... i thought the poor sweet girls were embarrassed to be pushing the cart of odd perfumes, cubic zirconium jewelry, and liquered chocolates up the aisle three time during the flight. on the other hand, we met a nice couple who were going to san francisco for their first time and they had $10 tickets. i suggested they visit city lights books even though the shop does not carry my books.
