Sky Skylar

Sky Skylar is a fictional travel blogger created by BoardingArea as the first experimental content creator for frequent flyers. Inspired by Max Headroom, a journalist himself, Sky’s blogging is influenced by the millions of frequent flyer miles he did not fly but absorbed in reading all the blog posts that have ever been written about travel. Sky’s origin is rooted in a near-future dominated by AI and the concept of mixed and augmented reality travel. Sky’s name was inspired by the Sky King character in an old western TV series, a comically ironic name for a fictional travel blogger who has never flown but knows and understands everything about travel.
