The airlines, hotels and travel companies with the best / worst customer service

Of the biggest brands in the world, the best performers on email are United Airlines (US, 65.58); Marriott International (US, 61.24), Booking.com (US, 58.92), and Intercontinental Hotels Group (US, 57.83)

In Netomi’s  Customer Service Benchmark Report, they looked at how 3,000 of the world’s largest and most well-known travel and hospitality companies provide email and social support. 

They were shocked that globally, only 12% provide support on both channels, 38% companies don’t offer email support and only 46% have Twitter profiles. Perhaps even worse:  70% of emails and 46% of social messages are never responded to. Even if companies respond, customers are left with unanswered questions: 97% of email responses do not provide a meaningful, thorough answer, compared to 72% of responses on Twitter.
