Which travel people/companies/airlines do you follow on social media?

I didn't think this would be allowed in playground so popped it here.

So I signed up with twitter and opened Facebook. Mainly because I felt like I was missing out when it came to airline stuff! And maybe seeing a couple of other pictures. I haven't done any trip reports but might also be a good place to keep a record of my own pictures to look back at later.

I was surprised to see Air NZ's twitter feed was the same as the Facebook feed. There seems to be an Air NZ virtual but I'm not sure what that's about. Signed up to the Air NZ fairy, grabaseat (although I receive daily emails which I always look at so I'm not sure if it's useful), QF, VA etc and there are some really awesome pictures other people have posted. Also just seeing what the general public (generally less geeky) post is interesting and seeing where their expectations sit.

I also checked out who Air NZ was following and it said "Sir David Flynn". Is the "Sir" bit real??

I'm not sure I want to follow any travel bloggers. I suspect they'll make me feel depressed because they'll always be posting from awesome places!
Not sure if hotels are useful although Accor do some sort of check in thing? Places?

Who are you following/facebooking re:travel? Any other useful companies to follow?

Social media.....whats that.....I still prefer to sit next to someone at the bar and talk to them, not constantly sit with my phone in my face and send messages back & forth

Twitter feed? Facebook? I find myself in a parallel universe.

Yes, I think most on here have noticed this.

As opposed to writing in a 'social media' forum ?


But in answer to the OP, which is what the discussion is about on ' social media'.

I follow , albeit not that closely, Wanderlust ( https://wanderlust.com/ ) , Culinary Backstreets ( Home - Culinary Backstreets ) and a few others. For travel writers/photographers, recommend Brendan Van Son.. ( Brendan's Adventures | Travel Photography Blog by Photographer Brendan van Son ) , Also has a great youtube channel and various other sites.

Could throw a few dozen others, but they are a start.
