About Us

Skybid is a fun and exciting auction website where Australians can buy domestic and international airfares as well as travel vouchers for a fraction of the price! Our customers are the reason we exist and we are focussed on making their Skybid experience the best it possibly can be. Our customers have been central in the creation of Skybid, with their needs always being our focus. We have built on the ‘pay-to-bid auction model’ in a way that no other online auctions in Australia have done. We have created ways to reduce competition and reward our customers so there will always be value in being a Skybidder. Skybid is the brainchild of Karis Confos and was founded in 2013 but only recently launched in October of 2014. “I have always loved to travel but I have never loved how expensive it is to fly. I’ve been a minimum wage worker since I was fourteen so every airfare I bought was a big deal! The market has definitely changed a lot over the past five years, however, air travel is still very costly. I want to make travelling that bit more affordable and innovate the purchasing process. Skybid definitely achieves that.” “I’ve made some of my best memories travelling and I love that through Skybid, we are helping others do the same.” “Skybid is a company built on the idea of wanderlust. That’s a wonderful reason for a company to exist.”
