Sky Travel launched with Freeview on 30 October 2002, along with Sky News and Sky Sports News and the programming strategy for the channel was changed to attract a wider audience, skewing towards entertainment programmes with a travel theme, particularly reality shows.
In January 2005, a timeshifted version of Sky Travel was launched.
In October 2005, Sky Travel on Freeview was replaced by Sky Three and on 6 March 2006, the Sky Travel channels were moved from the "Entertainment" section on the Sky EPG, to the "Lifestyle and Culture" section, ahead of the channel moving to a schedule filled with reality TV programming with a spin-off channel, whilst Sky Travel Extra, dedicated its airtime to documentaries
In February 2003, a spin-off of the channels, Sky Travel Shop, launched a dedicated travel retail channel and this reverted back to Sky Travel when Sky Real Lives launched. In 2009, Sky Travel changed its logo slightly. The channel closed on 24 June 2010.
