Tweet Of The Week: Blame British Airways

December 15, 2009 at 5:14 PM | by JetSetCD | 0 Comments

We love Tuesdays. Why, you ask? Because the day brings many travel tips and quips as "Travel Tuesday" on Twitter, and we're going to share our favorite with you. Got an avid travel twitterer we should follow? Let us know.

Today's Twitter action was dominated by two topics, and happily both are completely up our alley since they focus on the airlines. First, the Boeing 787 Dreamliner successfully took its first flight, and people tweeted about watching it on a livestream. Second, there's the news of the big two-week British Airways employee strike that'll cripple the company and millions of passengers over Christmas.

There's been tons of angry tweets about the BA situation, and we were all set to feature an outraged flyer until we came across this tweet from someone suffering secondhand from the flight cancellations. This is perhaps the most hilarious tweet we've yet seen regarding the BA strike, and we really feel for this woman, who is appropriately facepalming and/or showing off her wedding ring for her Twitter picture. Here's what she said:

Dear British Airways: Thanks for striking AFTER my in-laws arrive in US. If they can't leave as planned I will fly your damn plane myself.

Isn't this how hilarious Christmas movies begin? The in-laws flight gets cancelled or they are given a runaround at the airport, and hilarity ensures? The humor is already in full gear though, as we can see from this tweet. Let's all use our collective mental energies to wish BA back into a skeleton operation at least, so Lynn can have some peace and quiet.
