I recently join Skyhour a NewYork-based company, with the tech team in Lisbon, Portugal, where I be will joining them.
For many years, Airline Gift Cards existed, but I never found them very useful, unless you only fly 1 airline it's a bit pointless and very hard to quantify— if you want to send your friend to Mexico how much a $100 gift card can help him? That's where Skyhour is trying to do something different, it's like having a gift card that works with more than 300 airlines, and it's very easy to visualize how much you giving! 1 Skyhour, as currency, is equal to 1 hour of flight from anywhere to anywhere in the world and costs $60, so if you want to fly your best friend from New York to Mexico you probably need at least 5 hours per leg, making it quit easy to understand the value of your gift vs. a $100 gift card.
peace out
