Most of us dream of the days when we can travel, discover new places, and make unforgettable memories. Yet any experienced traveler knows the journey isn’t always smooth going. Maybe your flight gets canceled. Perhaps you lose your passport at the worst possible moment. Or your kids are just driving you bonkers. That’s why we’re bringing you this compiled list of funny and relatable tweets about the realities of traveling.

Passports Are Weird

Passports are internationally recognized identification documents that decide whether or not you can enter and exit a country legally. Most people have one - including a non-dating-profile-appropriate photograph, a cool hologram, and key personal info.

This young woman rightly pointed out that it's kind of weird that a tiny little book can have such a big impact on your life. Does the travel process need to be as bureaucratic as this? Who knows, but what we do know that is you don't want to turn up to an airport without a passport!

Don’t Judge Airport Looks

Airports serve as hubs for departure and arrival. Despite challenges like security measures and environmental concerns, airports remain a vital component of modern transportation. They're also the home of outrageous fashion choices.

It's one of the unspoken rules of the airport that nobody can be judged on what they're wearing, how they're wearing it, or what time of day it is. From business attire to pajama parties, personalized t-shirts for bachelor parties, and the classic sweatpants and flip-flops look, anything goes when it comes to choosing your wardrobe for air travel!

Tragic Emo Phase

Passport photos are notorious for being strict, boring, and sometimes embarrassing. Just remember, a neutral facial expression is typically required, and no winking or smiling. You're also not allowed to wear camouflage paint on your face (that's a real rule, by the way!).

They can be a portal into our previous lives, given we use the same photo for up to 10 years. Outdated hairstyles are a particular highlight/lowlight for people flashing a passport, just like this person discovered. At least he gave the immigration officer a good laugh.

An Unconventional Adrenaline Rush

Losing a passport can be a stressful and inconvenient experience, especially when you know for sure that it's somewhere in the house because you just saw it minutes or hours ago.

Check every pocket of every item of clothing you own, throw all your items on the ground in a wild frenzy of frustration, and eventually discover it's on the counter where you left it. No matter what, the adrenaline is bound to get pumping as you realize you're half an hour away from being unable to board your flight at all.
