Follow Friday: Five travel sites worth following on Twitter

In honor of Twitter's ever-popular "Follow Friday", or FF for some, here is a list of five travel sites with tweets worth following:

L.A. Area Flights - @LAfares

The Twitter headquarters of Fly.com's LA airfare deals. They tweet some of the latest and greatest deals on airfare from LA. One of their most recent tweets is sure to be loved by LA baseball fans -- they just launched airfare deals to big league cities! Check out the deal on Fly.com.

Free Fun L.A. - @FreeFunLA

The twitter page of Freefunguides.com's LA website. "The essential to budget travel is to approach ahead. When it comes along to family trips, globetrotting, well-deserved holidays and/or going to see new places we have never been before, the reality of cost and budgeting is often in the back of our thoughts. Organizing and spending our travel budget correctly is a concern for most families. Minimizing spending and charges, while still taking pleasure in your vacation to its fullest, is the key to guaranteed success and fiscal liability. Your pocketbook and family will thank you! The thought behind saving money while travelling is simple: Even if your personal finances is extremely limited, you can still take a break and enjoy life! Simply put, life is just too short to never step out of the door or leaving the homestead! Also thinking about that while traveling, no matter whether on a resources or not, even the smallest of things can all add op to a large vacation or travel expenses!..". Their tweets are a great way to discover free, and of course fun, things to do and events to attend all over the LA area.

Fly from LAX - @flyfromLAX

A great source for finding cheap flights from LAX to all over the world from Farecompare.com. Follow @flyfromLAX and you'll get real-time tweets on price drops on LAX airfare.

Smarter Travel - @SmarterTravel

The Twitter-child of Smartertravel.com, it's a great way to keep up-to-date on the latest travel news, deals, and advice from travel experts.

Flight Advisor - @Fltadvisor

Fltadvisor.com's Twitter resource for those "always in the air". This is a great way to receive the latest updates on flight delays, tracking flight connections, and perhaps finding alternative flights should yours be delayed or canceled. In this Examiner's opinion, this is a must-follow for any traveler on Twitter.

(For many, Twitter is still an unknown "world". If you're one of the many, and wondering what "Follow Friday" is, here is a simplified explanation. "Follow Friday" is a Twitter "revolution" where Twitter users suggest who other users should follow, specifically, as the name suggests, on Fridays. For more on the topic you can visit what this Examiner calls the "Twitter bible", a.k.a the Twitter Glossary. Happy Friday!)
