Jet America: $9 Fares?

3DT read our local Northern NJ Newspaper, The Bergen Record, featuring a large part devoted to a new airline at Newark (EWR) - Jet America. Flying to smaller markets including Toledo, Lansing and South Bend, Jet America is offering 9 tickets per flight for $9.00. Everything is ala carte, bags, sports bags, etc. all cost extra. My initial impression is - Hello RyanAir, USA!  But seriously, we'd think carefully before booking a ticket too far in advance with these guys.  Oil prices are rising, and these markets really make me wonder if they have the stamina to stay in business very long.  Their website has surprisingly little information - at this stage JetBlue or Virgin America already had full-featured websites... Anyway, would we book a ticket 3 months from now?  We're not sure.  But like 3DT always says, if you are interested in miles, upgrades, etc., these small airlines won't help you very much.  3DT's fast travel habits and interest in international destinations makes these airlines pretty much non-starters for us.  But if your Mom lives in Lansing, maybe they are worth a try. 3DT
