Funny Tweets From People Who Hate To Fly

Some people just hate to fly. I don’t mean the people who are afraid to and just don’t (although there are things you can do to help alleviate that).

But there’s a handful of travel-related Twitter accounts that I find particular helpful, fun and informative. Check these out:

Unfortunately, this is also the time of the year where weather can wreak havoc on airline travel on an almost daily basis. Living in Orlando, we’re accustomed to severe weather blowing through all the time. Here’s a picture a friend of ours took just last week looking from one side of the car and then the other.

With sudden changes to the weather being the norm for six months out of the year, we’re used to experiencing weather delays when flying. While we try to take these things in stride, we’ve watched people go through every level of grief over a 45 minute delay. Here’s our tips on what you can and should do if your flight is delayed.
