Travelling can be really interesting, especially when airports, flying and middle seats are involved. Here's the best from the Twitterverse to prove it.
While everything from kids sitting at the back kicking your seat to being squeezed in the middle row can be listed out to prove how awful it is to fly, there are good bits too. The little things that make you stupid smile, remember something and then smile a little more. Here we bring you a few such flying gems to get your curve moving, upwards.
Some people are just pure gold!
A nice couple sitting across from me on the plane left this note in my seat along with earplugs and candy. Baby Leo slept the whole flight! pic.twitter.com/kAdEONmlmS

Kindness comes in all brews and glasses.
I’m editing at the airport and I got a draft beer and the sweet older lady bartender comes to check on me and says “you’re working too hard you shouldn’t drink warm beer” and then refills my whole ass glass for free. Yes I tipped her.

A good strategy to sit in peace?
At the airport. Woman sitting beside me asks “Can you watch my handbag for a minute while I just go and check something? “Do you trust me? I said. She looked at me and said” No,” took her handbag and left. #jokesgonebad

Oh, the wonder of being a kid!
We are on this plane still getting ready to take off and this kid goes “wow we are in the air” and I started cracking up laughing.

Elevators save you effort, who thought they could be this comforting as well!
I just rode two elevators at the airport with the same woman- before we got off the second one she quietly said “I don’t want to be awake right now” & I’ve never liked someone at an airport more.

When the universe sends you a happy signal.
I’m a writer of over 30 books. 3 weeks ago I started one with the main character as Jameson. This woman was standing in front of me today at the airport. This happens to me every time!!Coincidence? Every book? Wow, universe. I’m documenting this for now on. pic.twitter.com/hgEaQcmOHg

Silence is a blessing, no?
When I asked a man if I could take the plane seat next to him, he asked me: “Do you talk?” Think this flight is going to work out fine.

Nothing's purer than a child's innocence!
The cutest kid sat next to me on the flight to Iceland! She told me I was so beautiful and that my hair is fluffy and that she wants to visit my house. At the end of the flight she hugged me and said she loved me. Shout out to 3 y/o Zoey for being the best seat mate ever.

The casualness of it all sure is... liberating?
I love the airports. The rules of society don't apply here. You can drink wine at 7:00 am while sitting in the slow lounge with sweatpants and hair that doesn't care.

A world of its own, happy flying!
Airports really are the Vegas of transportation.

Some people are drinking coffee, some are taking shots at 8am, some are passed out, some are shopping. It’s a little bit of everything.
