The Skyhour App Is the Easiest Way to Gift Air Travel
by Betsy Blumenthal
We know what we’re asking for this holiday season.
Rather than receiving yet another cable-knit sweater from your great aunt this Christmas, imagine that you’re instead gifted four ‘skyhours’—at $60 each, that’s $240 toward the flight for your next vacation.
That’s the aim of Skyhour, a new app designed to simplify the process of gifting air travel. Launched on October 23 with backing (and industry guidance) from JetBlue Technology Ventures, the corporate venture arm of JetBlue Airways, the platform aspires to make gifting and receiving flights a seamless, single-site process.

You don’t need to register with Skyhour to gift hours—pretty convenient when you're running to that birthday party and totally forgot to buy a present—but you do need to set up an account in order to claim them, and create a profile that contains some personal details (name, e-mail, age) and your passport information. Recipients can then apply the hours they’ve received to their selection, and, presto! They’re going to Mexico. Fortunately, for those of us who already know what we want for our birthday (hey, six months isn’t that far away), you can also request hours.
