So you don’t get to see your sweetie often because flying back and fourth costs too much… right?

Well maybe not anymore if you fly via Skybus. Skybus is a no frills airlines that offers very cheap (read: sometimes as low as $10) flights out of Columbus Ohio to 13 different cities.

Vancouver
Seattle
San Francisco
Los Angeles
San Diego
Kansas City
Boston
Hartford
Richmond
Greensboro
Jacksonville
Daytona Beach
Ft. Lauderdale

Personally, I’d rather use another airline and pay more due to the convenience factor because with Skybus no frills means no frills.

If you want something other than the flight, you pay for it; checked luggage, soft drinks, and you have to move your own luggage if you are on connecting flights.

And by the way there’s something you can’t pay for - live customer service because according to their website “We don’t have a phone number. Seriously. We’d love to chat, but those phone banks are expensive.”

You can read a full review here and see if it’s worth it to you. I’ll be sticking to NWA.

How can I safely travel from Fort Worth TX to Nashville TN with my little girl. I thought about taking her seat but I could not find the straps I would need to attach it. I also thought about a front carrier but it is a 17 hour trip and I don’t think that she or I could sit in one position that long.

The beauty of these blogging engines and CMS platforms is the lack of limitations and ease of manipulation that allows developers to implement rich content and ’skin’ the site in such a way that with very little effort one would never notice what it is making the site tick all without limiting content and effectiveness.

No, things don’t lose energy traveling through vacuum. One particle (photon) of light will travel forever unless it interacts with some physical object along the way. So would any particle, such as a rock. This is Newton’s First Law, first formulated in 1687.
