Tweet of the Week: That's So Meta.

September 28, 2010 at 5:04 PM | by | Comments (0)

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.

There are many excellent arguments for flying on planes that have seat-back TVs for each seat. One basic one is that you get to watch whatever you want, not like the overheard screen-played X-Men movie through which we suffered on an Alitalia Chicago to Milan flight. Nope. Instead, with seat-back TVs, you can watch stuff like The Simpsons, or even—if you're on an airline with satellite TV, like JetBlue—the season premiere of the show, at the same time as those at home are watching it.

This was what happened to tweeter @GirlOnFerry, who usually tweets her commute on the Staten Island Ferry, but this month is supplementing it with tales of the adventures she's having with a JetBlue All You Can Jet pass. The most recent:

On a plane, watching The Simpsons on a plane

Love it on so many levels. First, that she had the presence of mind to quickly snap this pic during the show and second, the fact that this so perfectly encapsulates modern air travel. That you can be off jetting around the country, while still tuning in to the season premiere of a show that's defined a generation. And then! To tweet it...excellent. It's so meta that it makes our head hurt in both good and bad ways.
