Where the answers come from

Types of sources AI answers can draw on in this category.

Flight and seat reviews
Cabin, seat and service reviews by route and aircraft.
Rankings and awards coverage
Annual lists and the articles that summarize them.
Travel news
New routes, strikes, disruptions and incidents.
Forums and frequent-flyer communities
Detailed first-hand trip reports and loyalty advice.
Your fare and baggage pages
Fare families, allowances and policies, if they are easy to quote.

What AI can get wrong

  • Wrong baggage and fare rules

    When fare families or allowances change, answers can keep quoting the old ones.

  • Old disruption coverage

    A strike or incident from years ago can still color how answers describe you.

  • Routes that changed

    Discontinued routes can still be recommended, and new ones left out.

What to track

Personas

  • Leisure travelers

    Price, baggage, seat comfort.

  • Business travelers

  • Families

  • Frequent flyers

Questions

Can we track specific routes?
Yes. Prompts can name the routes and city pairs you care about, so you see visibility route by route.
Do AI answers quote our baggage rules correctly?
That is one of the first things teams check. MentionSight shows what answers say and which sources they cite, so you can see when they’re wrong and fix the source.
Can you track passengers in different countries?
Yes. Prompts run country by country in the local language, so you see how the same route is answered in each origin market.
Will this improve our ranking in AI answers?
MentionSight measures; it doesn’t guarantee a ranking. It shows where you stand and which sources and pages are worth working on.
