Oyster: The Best Travel Tweets Of 2012

Oyster.com visits, photographs, reviews, and rates each hotel, uncovering the truth before it's "uh-oh" time

Whether our favorite tweeters are giving us drunken live updates from their planes, or just making us super jealous from their private island vacations in the Caribbean, we can't get enough of their 140 character e-postcards. And 2012 saw its share of great travel tweets from all types of tweeters.

The most determined look I've ever seen on a human being is the airline passenger trying to fit a large suitcase in a small overhead bin.

-- Jenny Johnson (@JennyJohnsonHi5) May 29, 2012

Comedy writer Jenny Johnson always knows how to make us laugh with her sharp observational humor and sarcastic wit, so we love when she takes a crack at her fellow passengers. In this case, it's that guy we all know who just doesn't know when to check his over-sized carry-on (although we can't blame him for trying).

I can do donuts on Mars, but it's just not the same. #Endeavour, you're making me homesick#SpotTheShuttletwitpic.com/b3nrvt

-- Curiosity Rover (@MarsCuriosity) October 13, 2012

We all get a little homesick on the road (or in the sky), and the Mars Rover is no exception.

True story! RT @rachdawa: Last night at Disneyland @johnstamos photo bombed our group picture! instagr.am/p/TgnvFprdjC/ -- John Stamos (@JohnStamos) December 21, 2012

  We admit we're pretty jealous of @rachdawa. As if the Magic Kingdom couldn't get any better, John Stamos happens to walk by and make an appearance in the family Christmas card. Uncle Jesse, you can photobomb us any day.

Donald Trump #AisleMan, Tom Hanks #WindowSeat, Future #WindowAndAisleAttheSamnDamnTime #JK #WindowSeat -- Aziz Ansari (@azizansari) November 8, 2012

On a recent flight, funnyman Aziz Ansari discussed the trials and tribulations of the great "Window Seat vs. Aisle Seat" debate, even taking a stab at other supposed celeb preferences. We admit we like his solution of not having to choose, but in the meantime, we'll take #WindowSeat.

If you don't want to miss your flight, I suggest checking that attitude with your bags. #TSA -- Agent Smith (@TSAgov) September 10, 2012

Our favorite fake government agent gives us daily reminders of the hassles of flying, and, best of all, makes us laugh while doing it.

Birkin. Mac Computer. Chanel and a jet. Never quit fighting to live your dreams. God Bless twitpic.com/au7iwo -- Lindsay Lohan (@lindsaylohan) September 13, 2012

Oh, Lindsay.

My favorite thing about Paris is the 'double kiss on the cheek' greeting. It is both intimate and disarming. I'm totally stealing that. -- Neil Patrick Harris (@ActuallyNPH) July 14, 2012

We all like to steal little pieces of the culture on our travels -- especially from the French!

This day in hyperbole: Delta flight attendant just announced that they're about to begin their "legendary beverage service." -- Carrie Brownstein (@Carrie_Rachel) September 13, 2012

The "Portlandia" actress and musician doesn't seem to understand just how exceptional A Dixie cup full of Diet Coke can be when paired with  mini-pretzels -- but she'll soon find out.

May your Thanksgiving travels be miserable enough to make spending time with family seem comparatively tolerable. some.ly/rFlJJf -- someecards (@someecards) November 21, 2012

The hilarious e-card company knows just how hectic traveling during the holidays can be -- so hectic, in fact, that it makes us appreciate those weirdos we call family like never before.

Instead of a Portland hotel, I booked a "cradled in the arms of a lumberjack."Still had to leave a credit card for incidentals. -- Patton Oswalt (@pattonoswalt) June 28, 2012

On his recent trip to the Pacific Northwest capital of flannel, comedian Patton Oswalt shared the town's newest lodging trend.
