PSA: Keeping up-to-date with Airline news on twitter

[thewinchester]

A public service announcement for all those who fly and tweet. I've got a couple of handy lists going of all things aviation if you are an addicted 'tweeter'.

• Airlines - list of twitter a/c's for all airlines
  • Also sub-lists available for the specific alliances; *A, OW, and ST
• Airline journos - all the bloggers and journos who spend day in, day out writing about airlines, air industry and travel

I'm updating these lists all the time, and if you know anyone that should be added to them then please drop me a line.

Also, there's quite a few loyalty program specific twitter accounts out there (such as the NZ Airpoints fairy - who frequently grants wishes). If these lists are of interest, would you prefer the loyalty a/c's to be in a list of their own or stay within the airline bunch?

I’ve followed your airlines list. Should be useful, although it seems to be flooded with Hawaiian Air specials atm.

It is, unfortunately alot of large corporations (including airlines) really have no clue how to use twitter and think that interruption marketing works, but unfortunately, ppl just switch off and do what I did which was unfollow them.

Great list, I noticed I wasnt on there? :mrgreen::mrgreen: lol

OT - and Yes, don't get me started on the use of social media as part of integrated communication strategies. Its about creating a dialogue with customers, rather than just another push medium for information.

Ok, so receiving updates of specials is fine once in a while - but that shouldn't be all that goes out on it. How about some positive stories, or responding to customers who've expressed a view (+ive or -ive) about your company?

I've lost count of the number of people/companies/bots I've either unfollowed, reported for spam, and even acknowledged for #wankerwednesday as being mostly useless on the medium.
