TheWoWDBYou must read the summons in the same room as the quest giver. A portal will appear behind him that will allow you to board the Skyfire.
If you are like me and proactively hearth to Stormwind to read the summon, you will not be able to "board the Skyfire", even if you fly up to it.
If you make the same mistake I did, just hearth back to Dalaran, go to the room with the quest giver and the portal will be behind him. Taking this portal will teleport you to the Skyfire and allow you to turn in the quest per normal.

If you're like me and did exactly like the person above, but forgot where the portal was, it's in the Violet Citadel. That's on the map of Dalaran.
Thank you so much. I will leave Stormwind Harbor so that I can port to Stormwind Harbor.
