All a Skybus ticket buys,
though, is a seat on the plane. Passengers have to pay $5 to check a bag, $8 for a blanket, $15 for a pillow, and $10 to wait at the front of the line, since there are no assigned seats. Meals and
drinks are also extra.
There are no movies -- and the airline squeezes 144 coach seats on a plane model that holds 124 or 126 seats in two classes on most other carriers. Also holding down costs: There is no phone number customers can call. All tickets are sold online, and the only access to Skybus customer service is the gate agent at the airport.
