What do I do if my Skybus flight is cancelled

What do I do if my Skybus flight is cancelled?
My flight was scheduled to depart this evening at 9:35 pm frpm Gulfport, MS to Columbus, OH. Around 5:30pm today I checked the website and it said the flight was cancelled. Since there is no phone number to contact the airline and the airports answering service closes at 5 I have no idea on how to get on another flight. Should I just go to the airport?

Go to the airport and talk to the person at the counter in the Skybus Section. Remember to go early. The should reimburse you...if they cancelled it. Next time try using www.signumtravel.com to book your flight. I found that you always get good service from them.
2 :
do you have any other choice?
3 :
That's the problem with Skybus. You can't transfer your ticket to another airline and they have no customer service number. There is information on their website for regarding what they do in cases of delays and cancellations. See http://ask.skybus.com/questions/delays-and-cancellations.shtml

Meals on US airways looks to be BOB in coach

Meals on US airways looks to be BOB in coach.?
As I mentioned before about meals. My US airways flight leaves columbus Ohio at 8am(EDT) arrives Phoenix 9:10Am(12:10 EDT) and looking at their website you can buy a meal for 7 dollars. There is a fruit and crackers box or a Turkey crossaint box which doesnt look bad. The question is Is US Airways cashless meaning you have to pay with a credit card?

No, you can pay with cash. I do it all the time. They prefer exact change, though
2 :
You would be better off bringing your own snack or buying something in the airport to take on board. You have a quick breakfast flight and they may be out of your food choice.

4 :
try delta.com or any other airlines
5 :
Actually it's probably cheapest to go directly through the airlines directly. I always check the expedia.com or one of those sites and then I see which airline has the cheapest flight, and then I go to that airline's website and pick the same flights and 99% of the time I get the same price. Plus most of those sites charge a "booking fee" of $5 or more. And some airlines at least will guarantee that you'll find the cheapest fares on their website - I know American Airlines does and probably most other major airlines. Also check the "low-fare" carriers - they only have their tickets on their own website. Although they're not always the cheapest - JetBlue is always kinda expensive (I hear they're nice though) and Southwest Airlines just sucks.

Cheap way to get from columbus Ohio to near ottawa or montreal

Cheap way to get from columbus Ohio to near ottawa or montreal?
I need to get a family of 4 from Columbus OH to a town in between Ottawa and Montreal in August. Willing to drive to another airport for departing flight. Also willing to drive 6 hours after landing if the flight is in the $200 range. Problem is that right now the Columbus to Montreal or Ottawa flights are >$400 or $500. Thoughts?

I guess you could fly from Columbus to Albany NY, then drive up to Montreal... the flight is less than 200, and the distance between Albany to Montreal is under 4 hours.
2 :
Why waste your time getting to the airport, waiting there, hoping the plane leaves on time, and waiting for your luggage to come off the plane then leaving trying to find your rental car, waiting there for them to tell you it will just be a few more minutes .You should just drive the entire way. You are willing to drive 6 hours after the flight so just add on another 4 to 5. It might be 11 hours but it will be less hassle, not much more time, and you get the chance to spend time with your family. And it won't cost you $2000.00 in tickets. Below is a link to Air Canada. You will then have to rent a car to get where you are going. !!

why do pilots fly at 30,000 feet? if im taking a flight from columbus to st.louis,there is nothing above 1,000feet between here and there.no need to be at 30,000 feet

Besides there being storms and nasty winds there is other aircraft.
2 :
For one thing, it reduces the risk of impacting anything living, including birds and other avian animals. In a post-September 11th world and even in a pre-September 11th world, it also reduces the risk of impacting a building or other aircraft. It also, in the event of an emergency gives pilots a longer time to react and compensate. Not to mention: It's really nice up there, from what I've heard.
3 :
planes use less fuel at higher altitude and safety considerations as well
4 :
A couple of reasons simply put Firstly jet engines are more efficient at altitude, therefore less fuel is used, and secondly due to the thinner air up there the actual speed across the ground is significantly faster than what the aircraft is actually sensing, therefore you get there quicker. Also as said, it tends to be less turbulent, however high level winds can be very strong and can hinder of help you.
5 :
i want to fly a SR-71 at full throttle at 2,000ft over my house
6 :
Better fuel economy
7 :
And even higher. All things considered, it's more efficient for a jet aircraft to fly at a higher altitude. It's more efficient for a piston engined aircraft to fly at a lower altitude.
8 :
Quite simply, aircraft operate more efficiently at altitude. The ride is much smoother at altitude as well. Flying that route at 1,000 feet would be an extremely rough ride and would burn 2 - 3 times as much fuel than at 30,000 feet. Also, at 30,000 feet, if something were to go seriously wrong the typical airliner could glide without power for 60 to 100 miles -- more than far enough to make a safe power-off landing. At 1,000 feet, the glide would be less than 3 miles; you'd have to land on a highway or worse, in a forest. Also, at 1,000 feet the chance of hitting a bird are dramatically higher than at altitude. Impact with a bird at cruise speed can be catastrophic. Lastly, below 10,000 feet, aircraft are limited to 250 knots. An airliner can't fly efficiently at that speed. Typical crusie speed is much closer to 400 knots, or higher. So, as you can see, there are many reasons for flying at 30,000 feet -- or higher.
9 :
Because you are tword the top of the atmosphere so you are clear of any possible weather and also because you are clear of any traffic taking off or landing under you or anyone flying below you (cessna's etc.)
10 :
The aircraft is more efficient at higher altitudes so it burns less fuel, as well as the air seems to be less turbulent at the higher altitudes making your trip more enjoyable.
