This summer, forget about stressing at the airport! SKYSQUAD is now available at Dulles and Reagan Airport in the DC area to help families travel with ease and enjoy their journey. This summer, SkySquad will expand to offer services at BWI and FLL as well! SkySquad can also be found at Cincinnati Northern Kentucky Airport.

Founder Julie Melnick says, “SkySquad is designed to make air travel easier than ever before. Until now, most airport assistance has been reserved for VIPs. SkySquad wants to change that. We are on a mission to improve the airport experience for all; at an affordable price that is accessible for everyone.”

What is SkySquad? SkySquad is a platform which matches travelers with a badged and background checked airport assistant. Traveling has never been easier with a friendly face to meet customers at their car door and help them through security and to the gate. Service is also available for layovers and arrivals. Packages such as “Jetsetter, Globetrotter, Halftime Help, and Welcome Crew” are designed to cater to the everyday traveler. Although customers feel like VIPS; prices start at $49.

Skysquad has had the pleasure of helping many families, including those moving overseas and domestically, as well as those traveling with pets and health issues. Many SkySquad customers are senior parents visiting family, and SkySquad services as a support to greet them upon arrival so that they don’t have to navigate an unfamiliar airport alone.

“Where has this company been all my life? Airports are the worst. These guys make it better. We used them for an international departure and our assistant saved the trip by helping us at the ticketing counter, “ said Brandon Ross, a SkySquad customer.

About SkySquad:

SkySquad’s mission is to provide a stress-free travel experience for families and seniors who benefit from a helping hand from their car door to the plane door.

Assistance is provided by background checked, badged airport employees with a strong knowledge of the airport layout and an unwavering goal of helping others. SkySquad is available at Washington Dulles International Airport,Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport, and Cincinnati Northern Kentucky Airport.

This winter break, forget about stressing at the airport! SkySquad is coming soon to Dulles Airport to make your airport experience easier than ever! SkySquad is an airport service dedicated to improving the customer service experience for anyone who needs an extra hand. They meet customers at the entrance of the airport, or at their car rental drop off, and assist them with everything to get them to their gate calmly and easily.

As a frequent traveler with two young children, I often struggled to carry my carseat, diaper bag, carry on luggage, and my two children. I used to live in Southern California, and traveled often to Florida to see my family with a toddler and baby in tow. About 7 years ago, in 2012, I created a service called Nanny in the Clouds, which was named one of Entrepreneur Magazine’s 100 Brilliant Business Ideas of 2012.

Nanny in the Clouds’ business model called on travelers helping travelers while on the same flight. With over 4,000 registered customers, we certainly had demand, but there was no central location to start. We had customers from San Francisco, Chicago, NY, DC, London, Sydney, and everywhere in between. I knew that I wanted to create a way to improve the customer service experience for travel, but it took several more years before coming up with the new concept.

I created SkySquad with the goal of helping moms just like myself get through the airport with ease. In addition to helping moms and dads, we can also provide help to seniors and those with language barriers, as our assistants are fluent in Spanish, Russian, and Romanian.

SkySquad provides travelers with a personal assistant at the airport. All assistants have childcare experience and are able to assist with luggage, loading items on the security belt, and help navigate through the airport to the gate.

Click here to book an assistant to help you with everything from check in thru security as well as at the gate, all for only $30 per hour. Priceless!
