Anyone else stranded by Skybus?
Does anyone know of anyone else stranded mid-trip due to the stunt they pulled today? I drove an hour past the real airport to catch a flying fundraiser all the way to columbus oh from greensboro NC. I then drive two hours to Cincinnati and feel very proud of myself. Flight, rental car, gas and hotel all cost under 200 bucks. Meanwhile my "stupid" friends pay over 600 bucks because "they don't trust the 10 dollar plane." "you will probably have to pedal on a bike to turn the engine" they say... So I land and feel really good about myself...and as I pull out my cell phone to send them a text telling them how I saved a bunch of money in my geico moment... someone in the airport is saying "you know skybus just shut down." So here I am at 2 in the morning still looking for a flight home. Nothing under 800. So I have to DRIVE all the way back home. I need a hug......... or a drink. (but then I wouldn't be able to drive 8 and a half hours back home)

Oh I'm so sorry. that sucks a lot
2 :
I'm really sorry... I hope you get home safely! I have skybus tickets for a few weeks from now, and I don't know what's going to happen with that! I want my money back!
3 :
yeah, we were stuck in FL but we booked with american airlines from another airport and it costs 10 tims as much, 2 hours 25 minutes notice good work
4 :
I'm sorry to hear you were one of the people that got screwed over! If it's of any help, JetBlue and US Air are offering $50 standby flights to stranded SkyBus people. So contact the closest one (at the airport you flew in to, or the closest city) and they will be able to put you on standby.

I was supposed to fly out May 22. Have so many things paid for/planned for. They almost made it to their first anniversary..

Southwest Airline question
Southwest Airline question!?
I am leaving from Columbus, Ohio (CMH) on December 26th at 5:30pm, going to Birmingham, Alabama (BHM), with a stop first at St. Louis, Missouri. If I'm doing online check-in, can I do it NOW, instead of the 24 hours before my flight? This is my 2nd time flying, and first time doing a check-in, and the first time at Columbus Airport, which I live 2 1/2 hours from. PS: Any other recommendations I'd need to know since it's been awhile since I've flown? Thanks!

Sorry, but the earliest you can check in on-line with Southwest Airlines is 24 hours before your flight. Don't forget to print your boarding pass or you may have to wait for some time to get it at the airport. Good Luck, safe flight!
2 :
I agree that you can only check-in 24 hours before your flight. I suggest you give yourself plenty of time to get to Columbus because the weather in Ohio around that time may call for snow. Here in Cincinnati, they are expecting snow on Friday and with Columbus being north of us, I would not be surprised if there is snowfall as well. I suggest you bring a good book or iPod so you have something to do on the flight. Wear shoes that are easy to put on and take off since you will have to take off your shoes before you go through security. Also make sure you put all liquids 3.4 oz or less in a sandwich bag. If you get thirsty easily, bring an empty water bottle through security and then fill it up at a water fountain since restaurants charge a lot for a bottle of water.

will someone edit my paper
will someone edit my paper?
PLEASE CHECK DIALOUGE...IT MIGHT GET MESSED UP B/C OF YAHOO ANSWERS FORMATTING BUT PLEASE CHECK CAPITALIZATION ETC. BTW IM IN 7TH GRADE...THIS PAPER IS not PERFECT! The trees and houses rolled past, but this wasn’t the Chicago I remembered. The pilot’s voice came over the crackly intercom. “Ladies and gentlemen,†he began, “I’m sorry to inform you that there’ been storms spotted in the Chicago area. We’ve chosen to land in Columbus, Ohio instead.†He went on with the weather report and time, but I didn’t pay much attention. I was too anxious to get off the plane, which smelled like Grandma’s house. The seats were scratchy and the kid behind me must’ve broken his leg kicking my chair, so I didn’t care that we weren’t going to Chicago. However, my mind changed when I learned that not reaching our original destination meant not getting our luggage until we arrived there. That meant it could be up to a week until I got to wear fresh clothes, brush my hair, or even sleep with my teddy bear again. My parents didn’t know what to do, so we trudged over to a Burger King and thought things over. My parents had a total seventeen dollars and twenty-five cents after our meal at Burger King. Seventeen dollars wouldn’t last three people for 3 days, let alone a week. We called my grandparents, who we were going to Chicago to see. They that that they couldn’t even get out of their house because the storms, sleet, and snow was so bad. I watched as the skinny blonde ladies hurried past with their miniature dogs, while the businessmen sauntered on, talking on their earpieces. There were few passengers from the flight we had just walked off of because many were all traveling on to a further destination. We looked around hopelessly at the passengers arriving, departing, and eating. I was watching an old man slurp his chili with the when a young lady approached us. “Were you on the flight?†she questioned. “The one that didn’t make it to Chicago?†My parents nodded with a worried expression. “Oh I’m sorry. It must be awful without money. No food, no clothes…†her voice wandered off. She continued, “Who knows when you’ll get all your luggage back? Tell you what. I’ve been in this situation before, and it’s not fun. These twenty dollars,†she held up a crisp bill “were going towards new shoes. But you’re obviously in a lot more trouble than my sore feet. Take it.†And with that, she walked away. My parents and I stared after her in disbelief. “Well,†spoke my mother, cautiously, “Now we have just over thirty-seven dollars. We’ll get three sufficient meals a day and split them.†Little did we know that we wouldn’t be stuck there for long. My grandfather called us the next morning around eight thirty. We had slept on the seats at gate G 12, where we had departed from the plane. He had told us that he would be able to drive over, but it would take at least another day because of icy roads and traffic. While we waited, my father and I raced around on the moving walkways, tracked the arrivals and departures, and looked at all the passengers anxiously waiting. There weren’t any other passengers from our flight because they had all been picked up by friends or relatives.
