RE: Kansas City, gateway to .....
Uhm, Do you really want to fly anything called "Skybus" ? :-) And yes, Cow-lumbus OH is their main hub. So you'll be spending the night at one of the "no tell motels" by the airport. If you try and practice a midwestern accent and say "How you doing?" to the guys at the immigrations counter in Terminal 5, they do treat you nicely. (I kid you not. A friend's father in law is from CapeTown and did exactly that. ;-) Seriously, your best bet is to come through OHare, but skip United until they get their flight crew situation figured out. Or fly to St.Louis and drive. > Subject: RE: Kansas City, gateway to ..... > Date: Thu, 27 Dec 2007 20:15:57 -0600 > From: NormaJean.Sebastian@tellabs.com > To: neil.truby@ardenta.com; informix-list@iiug.org; art.kagel@gmail.com > > Neil, Art, > . > I saw this on the late news last night, looked like a pretty good option > with the risk that they are a new carrier. > Art - this might work nicely for you, it might enable you to fly odd > hours and "puddle jump" half way. > . > Check this out: www.skybus.com > . > I don't know about overseas but flying in the states is pretty much a > "bus in the air/cattle truck" no frills experience these days unless you > pay the big bucks.
