(firmenpresse) - LONDON -- (Marketwire) -- 08/02/11 -- Today travel is accessible at the click of a button, the tap of a telephone key or the touch of a screen, depending on what kind and how many devices a person has at their disposal. Airlines' use of social media and other 'e' tools has become the hottest mode of communication, not only for connecting with travellers but also for allowing them to search for and book flights as well as manage their bookings on the go.

Having scoured the offerings of ten of the most popular airlines, the site provides insight into all of the tools they offer with direct links to the section of the airline's main website, mobile site, Facebook page and more.

While all of the above provide slightly differing yet almost equally good eServices, Cheapflights.co.uk reckons the best performer to be KLM when it comes to putting social media tools to good use. The airline's facilities for mobile, online check-in and booking updates can be found through Google in literally one click as well as being easily found and accessed through its own website. The mobile site was also incredibly user friendly and the Facebook page is fun, interactive, creative, informative and friendly. Finally, KLM's mobile apps were available for most major smartphones including iPhone, Blackberry and Android.
