The rest of the story:

The start-up carrier, which has raised $160 million from investors, will have at least 10 seats available for $10 on its flights through December 15. The $10 tickets don’t include taxes and fees.

Last-minute fares run as high as $330, spokesman Bob Tenenbaum said.

Skybus plans to fly initially from Columbus to Burbank, California; Portsmouth, New Hampshire; Richmond, Virginia; and Kansas City, Missouri.

On May 29, it plans to add service to Bellingham, Washington; Greensboro/Winston-Salem, North Carolina; and Fort Lauderdale.

In June, Skybus plans to begin flying to Oakland, California.

With taxes and fees the true cost of the ticket will run around $30-40 round-trip. But its still a bargain. People want to fly cheaply and safely. Now they have another way to stretch their business expense trips and make their vacation dollars go further.

A lot of the $10 fares are already taken.

There are none to Ft. Lauderdale, for instance.

But, from KC to Columbus and vice versa, there are a lot.
