The Skift Subscriber Experience

Whether you’re a hospitality professional looking for clear, concise insights every morning, or an aviation leader wanting to stay in-the-know on all things airlines: We have a subscription with your name on it. 

We aim to be the primary source of insights for every sector within the travel industry. However, we want it to be about more than just getting past the paywalls. Our subscription services are designed to keep you connected with other professionals, and gain a next-level understanding of travel trends. That’s where exclusive subscriber perks with Skift Live come in. 

It’s easy to get caught up in the chaos of the workweek and refrain from making authentic connections within the industry. But that’s what the travel industry is all about! We’re here to help you foster connections and provide networking experiences you won’t find anywhere else.

When you choose Skift as your source for all travel-related news and analysis, you join a community of like-minded creatives, leaders, and business executives. To help promote connections between Skifters around the world, we host over 10 annual events where professionals are encouraged to network and gain a deeper understanding of the state of travel and the trends driving growth. 

Complimentary Virtual Access to Skift Live Events 

Online access to Skift Events is a subscriber-only perk. That means you can join us in Dubai, Texas, New York, and London, all from the comfort of your home. You’ll get over $650 worth of virtual event tickets with a subscription of your choice. That’s exclusive access to a year’s worth of data-backed discussions, groundbreaking insights, and analysis tacked onto your subscription for free. 

Discounts to In-Person Events

When you choose to attend in person, you have an opportunity to fully immerse yourself in the Skift Live experience. You’ll get unreal networking opportunities with individuals from around the world and be the first to hear about travel trends and data from the minds of creators that are at the forefront of innovation. 

All subscribers receive an exclusive discount on Skift Live events if they want to attend in person, and the discounts vary based on the subscription you choose.

Recently, Airline Weekly’s co-founder Jay Shabat returned to the publication as a senior analyst. Shabat, a former airline analyst, was instrumental in Airline Weekly’s growth and success over the years as a must-read in aviation C-suites, writing lengthy cover stories and crunching earnings and other industry data.
