Skycap Service

Category: travel

Curbside check-in and luggage assistance provided by airport staff, usually outside the terminal entrance.

Skycaps streamline the passenger entry flow by accepting bags before travelers even enter the lobby. They allow passengers to drop luggage and get boarding assistance without waiting for inside service desks.

Common Examples

• Utilizing the skycap service allowed us to skip the crowded terminal lobby and head straight for the security checkpoint.
• It is customary to provide a small gratuity to the skycap for the convenience of curbside luggage check-in services.
