Watch Out, Airlines! The AOL 'Mystery Flyer' is Grading You

April 27, 2010 at 5:35 PM | by | Comments (0)

We love Tuesdays. Why, you ask? Because the day brings many travel tips and quips as "Travel Tuesday" on Twitter, and we're going to share our favorite with you. Got an avid travel twitterer we should follow? Let us know.

Somebody out there just took our dream job of flying around on different airlines and checking out how they are treating their passengers. It's the new AOL Mystery Flyer, and he/she has begun a crusade to check up on the USA's top airlines and issue them a "report card." Already they've flown on Jetblue (which scored like an A-) and US Airways (scoring around a B) and reported almost every step of the way via Twitter, even though they remain a "Passenger Anonymous."

Today, something very nice happened to the AOLMysteryFlyer, and we can confirm that it's not a rare occurrence, since we've had the same thing happen to us before as well:

So @Jetblue keeps getting better.Just received an email for a $25 travel voucher, an apology to all passengers for the flight delay.#spyinthesky

We don't know of any other airlines automatically issuing you a voucher just because there was an inconvenient (and not even critical) gate change and delay. We got a voucher emailed to us once because all the TVs on our Jetblue flight weren't working properly, and free money makes us forget small problems very easily. Follow @AOLMysteryFlyer as they continue to spy on the airlines.
