Anyone flown on the new Skybus airline yet? I have. And while I didn’t get a $10 flight, I did enjoy my experience and would recommend it to others.

The airplanes were new, clean and spacious. The seats were comfortable. And best of all, my flight to Burbank was non-stop. Heck, even if I could save a few bucks on another airline, I would go with Skybus just for the direct flight.

Here’s a couple of travel tips:

• You board and de-plane from the front and back of the plane, which greatly speeds up to de-boarding process. I don’t know why other airlines do that. However, you have to go outside to get on and off the plane, so in bad weather the speed might not be so welcome.
• Forget what Skybus says about taking your own food on board. I did, and I saw plenty of others do so as well. It looks like they don’t enforce that rule. Of course, your experience may vary.
• Notwithstanding the above, you still might want to buy some food or drink and tip the flight attendant. I hear they only make $9 per flight hour. But they do share 10% of the in flight sales. (This may be false, but that’s what I heard.)
