21 Twitterers to Follow for Amazing Travel Deals
Last summer 450 people found round-trip airline tickets to Europe for only $250. These fares were available for only a few hours. Delta soon discovered their pricing glitch and the fares were back to normal. So how did those people find that deal so fast? They followed Rick Seaney, CEO of FareCompare.com on his TWITTER account! More lucky or savvy travelers followed JetBlue and found $9 fares out of JFK, $444 round trips to Australia following United.
Twitter may be easy to some dismiss as a social networking fad, but these deals are no joke. The trick though is to find out who is tweeting these super deals. You’ll be the first to hear about fare discounts or cheap hotel rooms, island vacation packages.
A handful of these Twitterers are worth following. Companies use Twitter to hear questions from consumers and resolve complaints, so these addresses are always good to have. Find out more on Twittering by Googling for Twitter tutorial.
