Background:
Airtours (now MyTravel)Survey in 2001
What elements of service could be dropped without upsetting

Cannot do in-flight surveysCannot do at-airport surveysCan do:
In-street surveysPostal self-administered questionnairesPhone surveysAt-home surveys

Selling
Substantial executive summaries (but more of interest to academics and students since data will be generalised)
Full data sets
Sponsored questions (data only available to sponsor)
