Save/ShareStarting in January, low-cost airline Skybus flies out of Greensboro, N.C., to the following places: Boston (via nearby Portsmouth, N.H.); Fort Myers (via Punta Gorda airport); Fort Lauderdale; Gulfport (which is 80 miles from New Orleans); Hartford, Conn. (via Chicopee, Mass.); Jacksonville; and Los Angeles (via nearby Burbank, Calif.). Fares start at $10 for at least 10 tickets on every flight--plus $12 in taxes and additional fees for checked bags and food. Tickets are not available through Expedia.com and other travel websites. They're only for sale at Skybus.com.
For details on Skybus, read this earlier blog post.

I don't know where you got the info that every flight has at least 10 seats for $10. I just went to their web site and tried find a flight from Greensboro to Los Andeles (Burbank) and the first flight is in February, (no flights at all before then) and the lowest price is $75 each way plus baggage fee, taxes etc. Most of the flights are $100 each way+ extras.

Hello,
Sorry you didn't have luck. Skybus promises to set aside 10 seats on each flight. Perhaps the flights you searched on have already had those fares booked up. The airline has an email newsletter, which may help you nab any deals next time.
Good luck!

I read an article in my local newspaper on Skybus yesterday that indicated all the $10 fares are booked through May.
