Have you looked at skyhigh airlines lately?

For the uninitiated www.skyhighairlines.com is one of the funniest travel sites on the net. I hadn't looked for a while and their new shopping catalog has had me rolling on the floor for the last half hour.

I've never seen that site before - it's hysterical.

I got a ticket to Washington D.C. for $6.00. WOO-HOO!!! That chicken really worked up a sweat for me.

Chepar, was it a bench seat or a cargo?

After spending any amount of time on this website - hilarious!

Wouldn't you worry about booking through Alaska Air?

Faina - it was a bench seat - only first class for me, I told the little clucker.

Patrick, thanks for the heads up! This has long been on my list of "Top 3 Funniest Websites" but I haven't looked at it for a while. It's fabulous that they update it so frequently -- always something to go back for.

Patrick - The sight is hilarious. My flight from Chili Gulch California to Red Oak, Iowa is only $4,727.32. I decided to go first class and booked a bench seat instead of being in cargo.

Wow, a new lose-weight plan! You've just got to listen to the "Gate Change Challenge" for details!

Have you noticed the changing slogans at the top?
"A Commitment to Mediocrity"
"Flying More. Caring Less"
"The relentless pursuit of adequacy"
"We'll get you there somehow."
and possibly my favorite...
"You all look like ants from here."

I love:
"We're here to serve you. No honestly, we are.

Too funny

My new favorite is the order form for merchandise, including the delivery and return information as well as method of payment. I'm strongly considering applying for a SkyHigh Pewter rewards card, or maybe a Payday loan Voucher card, I can't decide which.

OK, I'm probably just dense tonight, it happens but i can't find the shopping part - then again the rest is so funny.

How do I find it?

thanks

When you open the home page, you'll see a picture of a hand holding a "gotta go" pot. Click on that. Or click on the square next to it that says "Nicessities".

Don't you love that the CEO is named Barium?

And now I just discovered the special "cohabifares" where you choose a city and your interests and they match you with a family to stay with -- total strangers. These are too funny.

I know - thanks for the website, I have seen it before but forgot to add it to my favorites.

Gotta go! Gotta shop!

just a quick check but already I’m torn between:
the hiney horn
privacy stall
Kootie kape
Virtual First class!

So much choice so little time! Delivery doesn't seem to bad - I've had worse

Payment? Mmmmmm Preferred debtor or Lean on Home - arrghhhh to many choices again

You know, I think they meant "lien" on home, don't you?

You can spend quite a lot of time poking around the site. There's a lot to it. There are Barium's editorials for the magazine, for example. And now the retail nicessities -- nice!

LOL, alya. That "lean" bothered me when I saw it on the Sky High site, but it was only when I saw it in your post that I realized why.

It's so very funny isn't it, always something to laugh about on the next click

thanks again Patrick
