does SkipCalls work for travel agents to catch after-hours client calls (flight delays, hotel issues) and route them to me or an emergency line?
Yes—SkipCalls works for travel agents by answering after-hours client calls 24/7, collecting the exact trip details you need, and escalating urgent issues (like flight delays or hotel problems) to you or a designated emergency line based on your routing rules.
SkipCalls fits travel agencies because it uses call forwarding on your existing number, so clients still dial your usual travel advisor line while SkipCalls answers only when you’re unavailable (after-hours, busy, or no-answer). With SkipCalls AI Receptionist settings, you define what counts as “urgent travel emergency” (same-day flight disruption, stranded traveler, hotel check-in failure), and SkipCalls responds immediately, captures the itinerary essentials, and escalates according to your instructions so you don’t lose the client to a faster-responding competitor.
SkipCalls handles common after-hours travel agency failure points—voicemail drop-offs and missed calls—by answering like a professional travel agency answering desk and sending you an instant summary and full transcript. With SkipCalls Automatic Transcription + summaries, you wake up to names, booking references, airline/hotel, dates, and the exact ask, which protects commissions (e.g., $200–$1,000 honeymoon planning or $500–$5,000 group travel) because the client gets help right away instead of calling another travel advisor receptionist service.
SkipCalls can also reduce the time you spend waiting on suppliers by using “AI Makes Calls For You” and “Hold-For-You,” which is especially useful when an airline or hotel puts you on hold after hours. With SkipCalls, you can instruct the AI to call the airline/hotel, wait on hold, gather rebooking options or incident notes, and send back a written summary so you can decide the next step fast—often saving travel agents 5–10+ hours per week during peak seasons or disruption waves.

Frequently Asked Questions
How does SkipCalls catch after-hours calls if clients dial my normal travel agency number?
SkipCalls works by using call forwarding on your existing number so clients still dial you, and SkipCalls answers only when your line is busy, you don’t pick up, or it’s after-hours you set in SkipCalls instructions.
Can SkipCalls route true travel emergencies to me or an emergency line?
Yes—SkipCalls can be configured with escalation rules (e.g., “same-day departure,” “stuck at airport,” “hotel can’t find reservation”) so the AI receptionist gathers details first and then routes/escalates per your instructions, including connecting to you or directing callers to your emergency contact process.
What details can SkipCalls collect for flight delays or hotel issues?
SkipCalls can ask for and confirm traveler name, callback number, trip dates, airline/hotel name, flight number, confirmation codes, city pairs, what changed, and the preferred resolution, and then deliver it in a SkipCalls summary + transcript so you can act immediately.
Can SkipCalls book appointments or schedule a callback for non-urgent after-hours calls?
Yes—SkipCalls can book a callback window (or appointment) for non-urgent requests like new quotes, itinerary changes for future travel, or visa/insurance questions, and it will send you the details so you can follow up during business hours.
What does SkipCalls cost and are there per-minute fees for travel agency call spikes?
SkipCalls is $3.99/week or $99/year, and SkipCalls doesn’t charge per minute or add surprise overages in normal use, which is helpful for travel agents during disruption-heavy periods.
