New data suggests Instagram may be the best social media platform to get in touch with your airline.

The social media customer engagement platform, Emplifi conducted a deep dive on airline response rates across several social media platforms.

Emplifi's data revealed 27% of customers that took their travel concerns to Instagram received answers, with more than half of the comments carrying a positive sentiment.

The data finds the second-best social media platform where travelers are more likely to get their questions answered is X, formerly Twitter, at 24%.

Travel experts say it’s a good idea to take the "throw everything at the wall" approach, meaning you should reach out on social media and pursue some form of in-person customer service.
