Skylark operates as a specialized online travel agency focused on the luxury travel sector, blending a digital booking platform with personalized human assistance. Founded in 2015 by Paul Tumpowsky and headquartered in New York City, the company targets affluent travelers, generally between the ages of 35 and 55, who are comfortable with technology but still value expert guidance. The business model is a hybrid, allowing clients to either use a self-service platform for bookings or engage with experienced travel advisors for more complex itineraries and arrangements.
Revenue is generated through a membership model and trip planning fees for complex services. While a membership is not required to book hotels, it grants access to exclusive rates and perks not available to the public. The platform provides access to a curated collection of over 1,500 luxury hotels and resorts, offering clients VIP treatment and benefits such as room upgrades, daily breakfast for two, and hotel credits. Skylark also holds private contracts with major airlines like American, Delta, and British Airways, enabling it to offer its clients reduced prices on business class airfare.
The company's service is designed to be as hands-on or hands-off as a client wishes. For straightforward hotel bookings, the online platform is readily available. For more intricate travel plans that might include flights, tours, private drivers, or exclusive access to events, Skylark's team of advisors provides comprehensive support for a fee. This combination of technology and expert service allows the company to cater to the nuanced needs of the high-end travel market. The company has secured seed funding from investors including 25Madison, Ovation Travel Group, BCD Travel, and Bessemer Venture Partners.
