I’m trying something new and would appreciate your help. I’m working with ExpertFlyer on a travel survey. It’s not meant to be a representative survey of how all people travel. Those surveys aren’t so interesting to me. Instead, the goal is to survey really engaged travelers — the kinds of people who use sophisticated online tools to manage their travel, and read blogs like this one.
I know how I feel, but want to know what this elite group of travelers thinks, about topics like:
- Has air travel gotten better or worse for engaged travelers? Have revenue-based mileage programs affected your earning? What do you value most at an airport?
It’s less than 20 multiple choice questions, should take 2-5 minutes to complete.
I’ll share the results here, and also with the broader world, making your voice heard.
Here’s the survey Responses are anonymous. I don’t capture any personal information. The survey will remain open through Tuesday, November 24 and then it will take a very short bit to analyze the results. I’ll follow up in mid-December.
Thanks, I appreciate it!
Well that escalated quickly. What’s up with questions 18 and 19? What a weird way to end a survey that’s theoretically about “Has air travel gotten better or worse for engaged travelers? Have revenue-based mileage programs affected your earning? What do you value most at an airport?”
Done!
Yes. The last two questions. WHOA! Question authoring for surveys is a science and an artform. I won’t quote the questions but I thought there was some interesting wording –
Didn’t realize it was for business travel. My travel is pretty much all leisure. Those two last questions though!
Ditto Nathan Drake – I’m AA EXP – all miles flown are leisure.
Hahaha! Now I know what all the WOW’s about the last two questions are. Interesting — and wouldn’t it be great to know how many people are not telling the truth, even if the survey is anonymous!
The survey should also ask business flyers in revenue-based ff programs if the number of miles they would earn ever factored into their travel decisions on getting from A to B. No doubt it happens. #airlines win, employers lose.
Those last two questions seem to be there to generate some eye-catching headlines in upcoming posts.
Although it is only the 20th the questionnaire is now closed….
