@thatjohn on Twitter

Hi! I'm John Walton. Yes, @thatjohn. For more about me, check out about.me/walton. This page is where I lay out my personal Twitter and social media policy.

I'm taking up the exciting new positon of Director, Data at Routehappy in New York City, doing flight search by comfort and better passenger experience rather than just by schedule and price.

I'm also an aviation journalist and travel columnist, writing for (among others) Australian Aviation, the Airline Passenger Experience Association, Jaunted — and previously for Australian Business Traveller. (Email me or hit me up on LinkedIn if you'd like to work together: I'm always interested in new things.)

Obviously, while I love talking about travel and aviation on Twitter and other social media, I'll always be doing so on my own behalf, not my company's, not my editors', and not anybody else's either. Retweets constitute anything from hearty endorsement to mocking ridicule.

Subject matters vary widely and will almost certainly include politics, religion, sex and whether the food was any good. I'm almost certain to swear. If you don't like what you read, that's okay! There's a lot more Internet out there.

Please take everything on Twitter in the irreverently British style that Twitter engenders in me, and in the knowledge that I revel in double entendre, in-jokes, dry wit and ribald mockery.

If I've offended you, I almost certainly apologise: it's rarely my intention and quite possibly a misunderstanding. Please get in touch so I can make things right.

If you have any questions or comments, drop me an email, or head on over to about.me/walton.
