face to an industry that has sometimes become cold when it comes to customer service. I am speaking of the airline industry. Almost all the major airlines are using Twitter for advertising and customer service purposes. Of course, some are doing a much better job then others. Why should you follow these airlines on Twitter? I would first follow airlines that you fly often because they will announce deals via twitter (some deals only announced on Twitter), but also I would follow them in case of a customer service issue in which direct messaging is needed. Customer service is where Twitter has really benefited the airlines. An article, recently published in the <a href="http://web.archive.org/web/20090728013659/http://www.nytimes.com/2009/07/05/travel/05prac.html?hpw" target="_blank">New York Times</a>, told about how via Twitter, JetBlue was able to recognize and resolve a family seating issue.</p> <p class="MsoNormal">JetBlue, Southwest, and Virgin Airlines seem to be doing the best job when comes to utilizing Twitter. <span> </span>It does not take long to find more stories about how airlines are resolving customer service issues via Twitter, in minutes, where before you were most likely stuck with a comment card at the end of your flight. My last blog post, regarding my experience on the discount airline <a href="http://web.archive.org/web/20090728013659/http://www.allegiantair.com/" target="_blank">Allegiant Air</a>, was “RT” by Allegiant Air via their <a href="http://web.archive.org/web/20090728013659/http://twitter.com/allegiantAir" target="_blank">Twitter</a> account:</p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center"><a href="http://web.archive.org/web/20090728013659/http://www.lockergnome.com/davidbanther/files/2009/07/picture-1.png"><img class="size-medium wp-image-20 aligncenter" src="http://web.archive.org/web/20090728013659im_/http://www.lockergnome.com/davidbanther/files/2009/07/picture-1-300x85.png" alt="" width="300" height="85"/></a></p> <p class="MsoNormal">See, it works! Have you gotten a customer service issue resolved by an Airline via Twitter? Let me know. Below are links to all of the major airlines that are using Twitter. What are you waiting for?

I send out tweets to all the airline partners I am flying and only Alaska responds. </p> <p>My latest example was tonight when I tweeted to Delta, Northwest and Alaska asking if Northwest does not charge Alaska MVP’s a checked bag fee. Northwest and Delta did not respond. Elliott from Alaska Airlines was on top of it and answered me within about 3 minutes.</p> <p>Last month I was forced to fly American and again asked a Q to both Alaska and American. American never responded.
