>> =============================================
>>
>> Policy: Can I bring my own food or drinks on board?
>>
>> No. Skybus fares are very, very low in part because that's all you're paying
>> for: your air fare. That means no free peanuts. (Actually, no one seems to
>> miss them). And we ask that you not bring your own food or drinks on board.
>> The only exception is for passengers who will need food that we're unable to
>> provide, for example baby formula or baby food, special food for those with
>> a medical condition such as diabetes or severe food allergies, or those with
>> dietary restrictions (Kosher, Muslim, etc).

>So? Maybe you conveniently develop a medical condition shortly before a

>Senduskee, grilled over mesquite wood from Oregon. Can Skybus supply that?

>> On the other hand, Skybus flights are very, very comfortable partly because
>> you can buy delicious snacks and beverages you actually want during your
>> flight. Or not. It's your choice.
>>
>> To keep everything tidy and organized, we do ask that you finish any snacks
>> and drinks you purchase on your own before boarding, as you are not
>> permitted to bring them on our aircraft.

You can only bring on board food purchased in the mall area AFTER you've passed thru security.
