I have not done a lot of reading but I hope United use 787 to Europe and/or Asia. Yes, I am very excited about this!!! Count me in!!!
I’ve used Delta Assist on twitter before, wish more airlines used this service. Facebook seems like a waste if time in regards to airlines
Never believed in social media before contacting United on Twitter during a delay – amazing response and solution
I’ve used Twitter to try letting airlines know of problems while they are fixable (e.g., unexplained delay for checked baggage to be unloaded.) Occasionally I have asked a question, typically about a policy or promo. My top use of social media with airlines is to receive info about flash sales or other promos, however.
I follow a few airlines on Facebook. That is all.
Have not used social media yet.
My favorite is @DeltaAssist on twitter – they respond surprisingly fast, and are generally quite helpful.
I follow UA & AA. When I have trouble/complaint, I twit them.
I tweet them compliments or complaints!
Facebook or the good old fashioned telephone!
Face Book and Twitter are way to go as we get better response.
Facebook primarily. Interested in checking out the Milepoint PM technique though.
The ways I have engaged is asking questions on facebook pages. They are usually answered pretty quickly.
I have tweeted airlines several times. The most useful was when we were returning from Playa Del Carmen on Virgin America. I wanted to upgrade to First but the site wasn’t working correctly. So I DM’ed with the twitter team at VX and they took care of it. My wife was very surprised.
Mostly twitter for me, or PM on flyertalk/milepoint
Via facebook
Facebook
complain when something goes wrong. It does no good. they don’t listen.
Twitter for me is the best way….
Twitter and the occasional e-mail when I need to request reimbursement for lost luggage! 🙁
I don’t.
Usually via Facebook
Just follow on Facebook
Alas, I can’t say I’ve used social media to engage an airline myself, but I do enjoy following the occasional conversations at Milepoint.
Facebook only.
I usually just moan on twitter
FB
haven’t used social media yet but have heard that response rate is FAST!
Facebook and Twitter…but the really useful information comes from Milepoint and blogs
