WHAT’S NEW AT OaklandInternational Skybus Airlines Offers Low-fare Flights To Columbus, Ohio From OAK -- At Least 10 Seats at $10 on Every Flight, Every Day -- Skybus Airlines will take to the skies from Oakland International Airport (OAK) beginning June 12, offering a daily nonstop flight to Columbus, Ohio (CMH) on full-size Airbus A319 aircraft. Skybus’ pricing structure, starting as low as $10 per flight, is designed to offer passengers the lowest fares available, then allow them to choose as many or as few add-ons as they like. Passengers have the option to check baggage, obtain priority boarding, and purchase a wide range of food and beverages and gift items on board their flight. “Passengers can buy airline tickets for less than the cost of a tank of gas,” said Bill Diffenderffer, Skybus CEO. “Travelers who visit our web site will find outrageously low fares on nonstop flights to major markets and to cities that are underserved from Columbus. And these fares -- starting with at least 10 seats at $10 on every flight -- will always be offered. They are not “promotional” fares that will go away in a couple of weeks. These are the everyday low fares we promised when we began working to build Skybus.” Steve Grossman, director of aviation for the Port of Oakland, which owns and operates OAK, said, “For the first time, convenient travel is now available between the San Francisco Bay Area and Columbus and the Central Ohio region. We are pleased that Skybus Airlines chose Oakland as its Northern California launch city. We look forward to working with Skybus staff to get their brand-new operation successfully off the ground.” Skybus features 150-seat Airbus A319 jets, one of the most fuel-efficient aircraft in commercial service. Customers will find an informative, easy-to-navigate web site that allows them to make and change reservations, rent cars, reserve hotel and resort accommodations, and purchase admission to popular attractions.

WHAT’S NEW AT OaklandInternational Azores Express Resumes Seasonal Summer Service To Portugal Azores Express resumes seasonal summer service from OAK to the beautiful Azores islands in Portugal. The weekly flight operates June 10 through September 30, with flights arriving at OAK and departing to Terceira, Azores on Sundays. In the middle of the Atlantic, more than half way between New York and Portugal are the Azores islands. A couple thousand miles east of New York City, and scattered over several hundred miles of ocean, the nine islands of the Azores are the closest point in Europe to the United States. The Azores are a hiker’s, walker’s, or cyclist’s paradise, waiting to be explored. Ribbons of road twist along black rock sea cliffs, plugging down into a green-blue ocean. The islands are dotted with tiny towns with local cafes where the menu is whatever the fishing boats brought in. Azores Express passengers check-in in OAK’s Terminal 1 at the international ticket counters. Azores Express flights are operated by SATA using Airbus A310/300 aircraft. For more information and reservations, contact your travel agent, visit azores-express.com or call Azores Express at 800-762-9995. Summer Travel Tips Can it be? Is summer here already? Here’s a travel tips refresher in case your summer plans include a trip to the airport: ARRIVE EARLY - Plan to arrive at least 90 minutes prior for domestic departures and three hours prior for international departures to allow for increased passenger volume at airline check-in and security screening. Also, if you do arrive early, take a stroll over to the Terminal 2 extension and enjoy the public art, bay views and new dining and shopping options at the new Oakland Row (see Concessions story below). BOARDING PASS AND I.D. - To proceed through OAK’s passenger security checkpoint, travelers ages 18 and older must show government-issued photo identification and ALL passengers must have either a boarding pass or other airline-approved security document. Check with your airline to see if it offers online check-in which can be done from home or the office before leaving for the airport. CARRY-ON LUGGAGE - Travelers are limited to two carry-on bags, which include a personal item such as a handbag, briefcase, diaper bag or laptop computer. To avoid a secondary inspection which may average three minutes per person, place loose metal items such as coins, keys, cell phones, pagers and jewelry in carry-on bags, and remove coats and shoes as the Transportation Security Administration (TSA) has made shoe screening mandatory for all passengers. Also, before packing, visit tsa.gov for a complete list of permitted and prohibited items. PASSENGER SCREENING - Get the 3-1-1 on air travel: liquids, gels and aerosols must be in three-ounce or smaller containers and placed in a one-quart, clear, plastic zip-top bag; TSA allows one plastic bag per passenger. Larger quantities of liquids and gels will need to be placed in checked baggage. Once at the passenger security checkpoint, remove the quart-sized plastic, zip-top bag from carry-on luggage and place in a bin or on the conveyor belt for X-ray screening. X-raying separately will allow TSA security officers to more easily examine the declared items. 13 OAK Travel Planner • Jun - Aug 2007 • oaklandairport.com
