    Skybus Airlines puts another batch of $10 tickets on sale today, as it opens up reservations through September 2. Reservations for the new service, as well as for all Skybus flights from Aug. 1 – Sept. 2, go on sale at 6 a.m. Wednesday, exclusively at Skybus.com.

    At the same time, Skybus said it will adjust its schedule to help it deal with the unprecedented increase in the cost of fuel. The adjustments will include some flight reductions as Skybus focuses on improving customer service and meeting demand on its most profitable routes.

    Schedule changes announced today by Skybus include:

    Effective April 1:

    – Previously announced service between Columbus and Niagara Falls, NY, and a previously announced second daily flight between Columbus and Milwaukee, will be discontinued.

    Effective April 15:

    – Service between Columbus and Chattanooga will be discontinued.

    – Service between Columbus and New York/Stewart, and between Columbus and Chicopee, will be reduced from two flights daily to one.

    – Service between Greensboro/Winston-Salem/High Point and Gulfport-Biloxi, MS will be discontinued.

    – Service between Greensboro/Winston-Salem/High Point and Gary, IN; Wilmington, DE; Punta Gorda and New York/Stewart will be reduced from two daily nonstops to one.

    Customers holding reservations on discontinued routes will be notified by e-mail and will receive automatic refunds. Passengers holding reservations in cases where service is reduced from two flights to one will be given the option of rebooking on the remaining flight, changing their reservation to a different day, or receiving a refund.
