Skycaps are the unsung heroes of any airport. These men and women are a concierge service to make travel hassle-free and easy. The skycaps are your best friend a the airport and work curbside, in baggage claim, and assist passengers with bags. They can also provide you with information about the airport. Most major airlines, such as American, Delta, JetBlue, Southwest, and United, provide this service at the curbside. Skycaps can set the tone for your trip, and most are quick with a smile and proper greeting, and offering to go above and beyond, within their limits, to help you. They do rely on tips; a customary tip is $2.00 per bag, but tip accordingly, especially if you need additional help with heavy or awkward luggage. Skycaps prefer cash, but many accept electronic forms of payment such as CashApp, Venmo, or Zelle. Just ask, they will gladly answer any questions about payment or instructions to make your travel easier.
Here is some of the information that you will need for your Skycaps: your boarding pass, photo ID, your reservation information, and your destination. This will ensure a quick and easy transition to our gate.
