What worked
- The post tied the chart to a timely, emotional subject: the cost of flying home for Thanksgiving.
- The headline claim was blunt and personal, saying the cost has never been more expensive, which invites sharing.
- The chart was simple, a bar chart of average domestic round trip airfare, and it showed a source line even though design polish and self labelling were low.
What to borrow
We could pair one of our own simple bar charts with a timely, personal framing and a clear source line, then state the change in plain words rather than relying on labels.
Careful
Do not over-read the engagement as proof of chart quality, since design polish and self labelling were low and the spread is credited to a hot topic and a big source.
