find deals. >> luck, persistent and timing that is what it takes to find a good deal on travel. the best content wins on twitter, we relate that back to travel, and the best content is the best deals, the savings of hundreds of dollars to even thousands of dollars, here is how, first find the deal experts and follow them. the flight deals and travel sites like hot wire deals, it's especially good to follow the airlines are you interested in and they offer deals on social media first. twitter is first so grab it fast. what make its so powerful is it is searchable, can you search twitter for hawaii deal or cheap cruise, you never know who is promoting a flash sale and on the other side you can ask for that deal. please find me a hotel room -- >> not ask like that -- but
4:55 pm
although i found that does help. but on twitter you can post what you are looking for and there are companies scanning for companies based on the content of their tweets, if you have issues or lost baggage or die laid flights, make them public on twitter, they have social desks looking for issues and trying to resolve them. >> when voicing a complaint on twitter, make sure you are concise in what the issue is and make sure you are polite. so bon voyage in 130 characters or less. the game of golf can bring out frustration for anyone, don't i know it, but nobody can swing a temper tantrum quite like peter, the day on the mini golf course started out well for the 2-year-old but then his game took a turn for the worst. ha, ha, ha.
