We love the exhilaration of taking that first breath of fresh air in a new place, the anticipation of exploring the enchanting and unexpected, and the sights, sounds, natural beauty, food, and history.
But most of all, we love the people. We learn how they live, their differences, and how unique experiences shape their world views. Best of all is the comforting realization that despite all of our diversity, we easily understand each other because, fundamentally, we are very similar. We see ourselves in each other.
We believe travel planning can be much better
On SkyMonde you’ll find all the features that you love about traditional online travel sites: search, compare and book hotels, flights and car rentals. We give you the most comprehensive information to help you make informed decisions. We help you find the best prices with features like price alerts and price forecasting.
And we offer tools to organize your entire trip, putting together all your travel details in a single organized view that helps you track your trip from initial planning through to departure and return. We’ll make your trip run smoothly, quickly resolving any issues that come up while you travel.
We put all this together in a clean and simple interface, built from the ground up to modern standards without compromises.
Expert assistance whenever you need It
We back you up with our global team of over 1000 experienced travel agents.
As you’re planning, they stand ready to answer questions and to make suggestions that will improve your travel experience and make the most of your budget. Leverage their vast knowledge and well-established travel industry connections to gain access to special rates and exclusive upgrades that are only available to travel agents.
Travel is an adventure full of unexpected surprises. That is why we assign you your own travel expert who stands ready to help you immediately via phone, email or chat. Whether it is an unexpected change of plans, or a missed connection your agent will work with you to find a solution.
Our team will never try to sell you unnecessary extras - but is always there to help when you need them. Ask them for a last minute airport transfer, a restaurant reservation or a room upgrade. They work for you.
SkyMonde is more than a practical or commercial project
We also want to share travel stories. We grew up reading back issues of National Geographic, full of adventure stories, the accounts of explorers like Sven Hedin, Thor Heyerdahl and Ernest Shackleton, and photographs by Steve McCurry and Sebastiao Salgado.
Adventures like theirs are still happening, and stories like theirs are still being told. We create a place to gather and share them, combined with practical advice on how to make those trips happen for you - how to get there, where to stay, what to do.
