Skytours acted as General Sales Agent for Laker Airways. Laker started their standby only service from London to New York. It was called 'Laker Skytrain'. Laker initially received approval to fly only New York-London UK, but with great success they soon expanded with services to Miami, Tampa, Orlando, Boston, Chicago, Los Angeles and San Francisco and as well to some Canadian destinations. Skytours was responsible for the "vacation packages" of Laker Airways, providing low budget trips for the Americans to Europe and for European Travelers to the USA.
