What is the appropriate amount to tip a Skycap at the airport??

Question

You know the guys who you can check in your luggage at the curb and get you your ticket? What's an appropriate tip??

Answer 1

I think $4. to $5. per bag is a good tip.

Answer 2

$1-$2 per bag is the etiquette rule.

Your husband sounds very rich and/or generous.

The amount he suggested/paid is ridiculous.

Answer 3

$2 per bag...but I like to do it myself...

Answer 4

The Big Book Of Etiquette says that you tip a Skycap $1 per bag $2 if it is a big bag.   I usually tip $3 per bag but your husband is a very generous man, and I doubt very, very much if there is a skycap in any airport that makes $100k a year!!!

Peace & Love  :)

Answer 5

I would say $2, it is kind of his assigned job.

$20 to $50 is totally insane for picking up a bag! I only ever bring one suitcase so I always go with $2. Now I'm interested to see what other people say !
