Dont go giving Ryanair ideas!!

Next flights :IB LHR-MAD-LHR 319 IB MAD-LPA-MAD 346, BA LHR-ARN 763 ARN-LHR 319, LH LCY-TXL 146, EZY SXF-LGW 319

Wow, I'd say that's borderline misleading if that's the case. If you are going to be questioned like a prisoner in North Korea, you might as well be made aware of it beforehand. That's a pretty poor busines practice...maybe effective, who knows...but poor nonetheless.

Next flight: BHM-MSY on WN; 6/16/08

Wow, no kidding. The Vacations tab goes the hotelscorp.us and/or hotelscorp.com From those websites: VACATION PACKAGES Reservations based upon availability and good to 2 adults and up to 2 children. Offer limited to individuals between the ages of 30-68 with an annual household income of at least $50,000, and must attend a 90-minute sales presentation (120 minutes in Las Vegas). If married both husband and wife must attend presentation together. Failure to qualify and attend the sales presentation will result in a penalty equal to the retail cost of your vacation package. All participants must check in at the VIP Welcome Center upon arrival and must present a major credit card and photo I.D. When you get to the resort, the front desk will place a pre-authorized (not a charge) on your credit card. If you do not have a credit card, a $200 cash deposit is required. Check Cards are not accepted. Rates are slightly higher during peak and holiday seasons. Blackout dates may apply. Additional nights and attraction tickets are available at discounted prices. Additional person charges apply. Accommodations with affiliate hotels are provided in partnership with Central Florida Investments (CFI), HotelsCorp.com. and Westgate Resorts, Ltd. All reservations are subject to availability and based on a first come, first served basis. So if you are younger than 30, older than 68, or don't make $50k you are ineligble for these "deals." WOW

Quoting ContnlEliteCMH (Thread starter): The person who answered the phone first informed him he could only buy one ticket, Who goes to Disney Land by themselves??

Quoting Airfoilsguy (Reply 4): Who goes to Disney Land by themselves?? Sort of defeats the purpose there doesn't it? If I went there with just me, myself, and I, I think it would be sort of odd if I went up to Goofy and asked for his autograph with no kid to give it to. Of course, I could just pretend that I had an imaginary friend, but that might not work out so well.... Quoting Clickhappy (Reply 3): So if you are younger than 30, older than 68, or don't make $50k you are ineligble for these "deals." Well, strike me out then. What a strange airline.

What a load of bait and switch crap. This airline will lead itself straight to it's own demise with this kind of nonsense. If that happens, it certainly will get what it deserves.

One Nation Under God

Quoting ContnlEliteCMH (Thread starter): The "Vacation Packages" on Skybus' website are nothing of the sort. They're just a sucker's bet to get you into a time share presentation. That's ghetteaux. Quoting Airfoilsguy (Reply 4): Who goes to Disney Land by themselves?? I think in hell I'll be flying to Disney World by myself, on Skybus, surrounded by ADHD children.

E pur si muove -Galileo

This should have been a tip-off. Skybus is selling "vacations" to destinations they don't even serve. DRW

I bet if you purchase plane tickets via their website, your e-mail address will receive a mountain of spam, your home phone will be barraged with telesales and junk mail will start filling your mailbox. All for your convenience, of course

I'm leavin on a jet plane. Don't know when I'll be back again....

So, who will be getting Skybus's Airbii once they're done with them?

Next thing you know they'll be selling your emails and phone #s to spammers and telemarketers. Then they'll try to get you to sign up for one of those get a "free ipod" deals, or how about a fill out surveys from home job. To top it all off they'll post a letter on their site "written" by some poor Nigerian seeking your assistance in transferring funds. LMAO!!! [Edited 2007-04-26 07:54:52]

Off topic: the free ipod thing actually does work. I got one, and I also got a 26" Sony wega tv that way too.

How long did you have to sit through the high pressure sales pitch to 'earn' those new toys? I don't think I would have the patience. Now that I think of it, we may have the makings of a new season of Survivor

I'm leavin on a jet plane. Don't know when I'll be back again....

Scambus...   Seriously, as soon as I saw their "rules of flying" page I knew these guys were basically the same kind of crooks who sell third party pagers, health supplements and time shares. And what do you know... they do sell time shares!!

Of all the things to worry about... the Wookie has no pants.

Quoting Airlinebrat (Reply 9): your home phone will be barraged with telesales Quoting Turpentyine (Reply 11): selling your emails and phone #s Since we can't call Skybus, why should they call us!?!?.

Direct KNOBS, maintain 2700' until established on the localizer, cleared ILS approach 26 left.

Quoting AirlineBrat (Reply 14): How long did you have to sit through the high pressure sales pitch to 'earn' those new toys? I don't think I would have the patience. Now that I think of it, we may have the makings of a new season of Survivor No sales pitch. I just had to sign up for one of their offers like a credit card or getting a free trial membership with netflix. After that I had to get several other people to do the same: 5 for the ipod and 8 for the TV. Then I received my toys. If anyone is interested I can provide a link to a forum that is all about those kind of programs. [Edited 2007-04-26 16:50:39]

Perhaps the SkyBus BOD has an Uncle who is the Prime Minister of Finance for Nigeria or a cousin who is the Prime Minister for Oil Finance from Nigeria who needs the contacts SkyBus makes so that the Nigerian relatives can help move some of their millions into SkyBus customers bank accounts since they cannot move the money themselves. Now that I think about it perhaps SkyBus's sole existence was to help move the "lost" or "unclaimed" millions of dollars in Nigeria to SkyBus's customers bank accounts just for helping the SkyBus BOD relatives in Nigeria? Makes you wonder?

Wow. This is amazing. There's another thread going about when Skybus will stop flying. With this type of scam they are perpetrating, they may not even get off the ground. I sure hope whoever helped put up that $160 million wasn't expecting any return on their investment.
