Who does not like saving money on air tickets? For flyers who fly every now and then, this could result in savings of hundreds of dollars on every flight. In hunt for these cheaper fares, people make extensive and intensive use of online medium.
With numerous online resources available for making this search, there is every chance that the flight tickets can be availed for cheaper prices than what is published online. One of these web resources which is used significantly is that of social media.
Social media is an interactive web resource which includes blogs, forums and other such platforms which allow visitors to interact either with the administrators or the other visitors. So, how is social media used for lowest fares?
At first, there is every chance that someone has posted the current deal going on some website. You might not have checked that website but this social media resource can provide information about it. This means that the cheap air tickets can be availed by being active on this resource.
Secondly, the error fares are likely to get viral on social media in no time. These fares are shown online by mistake and unless this is corrected immediately, it can result in heavy losses. Social media platforms are the first resources where these can be featured by one or more of the members.
Thirdly, some social media resources are prominent and renowned rating and review websites. If anyone posts a negative review, it can adversely impact the business of the company or organization. Both airlines and agencies are wary of anyone posting a negative review on these resources. And, if anyone has done it, these companies might offer some money in return for removing the review.
This is another way of taking the discount. Though this is an unethical practice if this is done only with the intention of getting some money back and there is no substance in it, it is being used extensively by some people to reduce the costs of their air travel.
