We were very happy to have Rick Griffin and Sandi McKenna of <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/MidlifeRoadTrip\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">MidLifeRoadTrip.tv<\/a> as our Twitter chat hosts.   <\/p>\n\n\n\n<!--more-->\n\n\n\n<p>The focus of the Twitter chat was on travel preparation, hacks and sharing some of our most entertaining air travel experiences. We wanted to share some of our very favorite responses with blog readers who weren&#8217;t in the chat. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We are gonna start off with this amazing tweet that landed right before we started the chat. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/terryanzur\/status\/1123305190126260224\">https:\/\/x.com\/terryanzur\/status\/1123305190126260224<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-css-opacity is-style-wide\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-align-center\">The first question of the chat: What is step #1 for you when it comes to travel preparation? <\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/always5star\/status\/1123361890489466880\">https:\/\/x.com\/always5star\/status\/1123361890489466880<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-css-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p>We love the idea of letting the trip unfold before you with still knowing you will get a destination you are excited to visit with this pick 3 destinations method. If you are super brave, you can go with the random bucket list picker like one of our Twitter chat attendees! <\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-css-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/MyAdventureBckt\/status\/1123362029123833856\">https:\/\/x.com\/MyAdventureBckt\/status\/1123362029123833856<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-css-opacity is-style-wide\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-align-center\">The second question of the Twitter chat was about using a ParkSleepFly.com product:<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Sleeping at an airport hotel the night before a flight and how that benefited the travel experience. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/RickGriffin\/status\/1123363147954266112\">https:\/\/x.com\/RickGriffin\/status\/1123363147954266112<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-css-opacity is-style-wide\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-align-center\">Question three was a common but necessary one for our Twitter chat: What is your #1 air travel hack? <\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/MidlifeRoadTrip\/status\/1123364658243690498\">https:\/\/x.com\/MidlifeRoadTrip\/status\/1123364658243690498<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-css-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-align-center\">We also wanted to highlight the best budget saving hack for our travelers in the Twitter chat. <\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>We loved all the responses but here is one of our favorites. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/MyAdventureBckt\/status\/1123366188535435269\">https:\/\/x.com\/MyAdventureBckt\/status\/1123366188535435269<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Varying dates when <a href=\"https:\/\/parksleepfly.com\/blog\/6-twitter-accounts-with-the-best-flight-deals\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">searching for flights<\/a> can make all the difference in travel expenses. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-css-opacity is-style-wide\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-align-center\">For question five of the Twitter chat we wanted to attendees a chance to vent about worst travel experiences<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>We&#8217;ve all been there. But we especially love when an air travel inconvenience has a silver lining. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-css-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/MyAdventureBckt\/status\/1123367782685474817\">https:\/\/x.com\/MyAdventureBckt\/status\/1123367782685474817<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-css-opacity is-style-wide\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-align-center\">The sixth question was about showing some love to your favorite airline! <\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/always5star\/status\/1123369188104392704\">https:\/\/x.com\/always5star\/status\/1123369188104392704<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-css-opacity is-style-wide\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-align-center\">For number seven, we asked our attendees what their funniest air travel experiences were.<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p> We received pure gold. There is something innately funny about how hectic air travel can be. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/KaeliTravels\/status\/1123374532578832384\">https:\/\/x.com\/KaeliTravels\/status\/1123374532578832384<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-css-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/MyAdventureBckt\/status\/1123370725165948928\">https:\/\/x.com\/MyAdventureBckt\/status\/1123370725165948928<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-css-opacity is-style-wide\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-align-center\">We wanted to hear about the very best hotel experiences from participants.

Here are our two favorites: <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/RickGriffin\/status\/1123373717717803009\">https:\/\/x.com\/RickGriffin\/status\/1123373717717803009<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-css-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/louisbink\/status\/1123374881737990144\">https:\/\/x.com\/louisbink\/status\/1123374881737990144<\/a><br>GOLD. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-css-opacity is-style-wide\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-align-center\">We asked our Twitter chat attendees to tell us about the sweetest thing they ever saw during an air travel experience. <\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>We were blown away.  Airports can also be a great place to see very sweet interactions between families, friends and even strangers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/KaeliTravels\/status\/1123381079723761664\">https:\/\/x.com\/KaeliTravels\/status\/1123381079723761664<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-css-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/SandiMcKenna\/status\/1123375228082638848\">https:\/\/x.com\/SandiMcKenna\/status\/1123375228082638848<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-css-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/RickGriffin\/status\/1123375227625361408\">https:\/\/x.com\/RickGriffin\/status\/1123375227625361408<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-css-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p>Absolutely beautiful! <br>Keep an eye out for our next <a href=\"http:\/\/x.com\/parksleepfly\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">#ParkSleepFly Twitter<\/a> Chat in June!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Last month we did our very first Twitter chat on the ParkSleepFly Twitter account!
