Don’t believe everything you read on Twitter

The Airline Industry Examiner blog talks about how Allegiant Air is dropping hints on its Twitter account about flying to Hawaii.

The only problem? It’s not Allegiant’s official Twitter account. It’s apparently some random Allegiant fan talking about the airline. Allegiant’s official account is @Allegiantair. In fact, after I contacted Allegiant about this today, they tweeted that “@allegiant is NOT the official @allegiantair account. Anything from them is not coming from us. We are working to resolve the issue asap.”

So is Allegiant going to Hawaii? It’s in their long-term plan - they talked about it back in November. The key is finding planes to handle the longer hauls, and a suitable time to make the leap. It makes lots of sense, but they will take their time.

(Too bad JetAmerica doesn’t have a Twitter account. Not even a fake one!)
