Deadline: 7:00 PM EST - 26 January
Query:
I'm researching a story about travel companies that treated
their customers well during the pandemic -- and which ones
didn't. How did airlines, credit card companies, cruise lines,
car rental companies, hotels, and vacation rental platforms do?
Are there any standouts (positive and negative)? I'd love to
hear from anyone with an example of a company doing the right
thing, or wrong thing, after the outbreak. How does the
experience affect your future travel plans? From travel experts,
I'm interested in knowing which travel industry sectors have
distinguished themselves one way or the other. What kind of
pandemic policies did customers like? Which ones didn't they
like?

Name: Christopher Elliott The Washington Post
Category: TravelEmail: query-btsi@helpareporter.net
Media Outlet: The Washington Post
Deadline: 7:00 PM EST - 26 January
Query:
Before the pandemic, travelers were loyal to an airline, hotel
or credit card because of the points. But loyalties have shifted
during the pandemic. I'm interested in hearing from consumers
who can help us understand how their loyalties have changed. For
example, did you receive good customer service from a company
during the pandemic, and decided to reward the company by
switching to it? Or the opposite -- did you get bad service and
leave a company? Are you motivated by miles and points, or by
better customer service? From loyalty experts, I'm interested in
your take on how the pandemic has shifted consumer loyalty. What
matters now? What doesn't matter now? Which companies have
benefitted the most from these shifts, and which ones have lost
ground? How can travelers position themselves in advance of the
summer travel season to make the most of these changing
loyalties?
