I leave for a trip in 10 days... and now I have to pay an Extra $400 to keep my vacation on schedule.

:(

That's what I get for trying something new.

So he deserves to lose hundreds of dollars because he went with a "cheap" airline? How insightful.

Columbusite here.

sad that I never got a chance to fly skybus : /

I read in the paper that you need to call your credit card company or if you have insurance on the flight through them

Trying to get money refunded for a trip in July. Not worried about it, but would have rather kept the cheap airline around.

Their business model must have been made by a chimp and 2 hippies. They planned on people using their airline line a bus or a taxi. Yeah, that'll happen.

How did you pay for your tickets?

If you paid with a credit card, you're probably OK.

If you paid cash or check...you're fucked.

Let me tell you when I heard about this last night, I was PISSED.

I got spoiled ROTTEN with the $40 one-way and $96 round trip flights from PSM to GSO (New Hampshire to Greensville, NC)

I had a family trip planned for April 13th for two weeks. Now we're screwed royally. Not only that but we've gotta file a claim with our CC now over this mess.

It's gonna cost a fortune now to find a reasonably priced flight with this little notice. We don't even know if we're even gonna go now. Driving would be torture.

Oh well.

I got a few high dollar flights out of them before they died.
Those $80 round trips to Seattle were nice.

I paid with credit card, and I should have my refund from Chase in a few days, so they say.

Don't get me wrong, I feel for him, but such is life. You get what you pay for.
