Atlanta Airport Announces Flights to Black Panther's Wakanda

Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport is the busiest airport in the world. With more than 2,500 flights coming and going each day, it serves over 100 million passengers a year. So what is the latest offering? A nonstop flight to Wakanda. If you have not heard of Wakanda, you probably have not seen Black Panther, the new superhero movie from a very famous comics publisher. The film tells the story of an imaginary African nation called Wakanda. It is the home of the Black Panther himself, Prince T'Challa. Black Panther has connections to Atlanta, Georgia; part of it was filmed in the city.

Earlier this week, the Atlanta Airport decided to have some fun. It tweeted a photograph of a departure gate sign that read: "Wakanda.7:30 p.m."It also wrote, "The bags are packed!#WakandaForever." In the film, Wakanda is a developed, technologically advanced country.It is both extremely modern and deeply

traditional. It has never belonged to a foreign power. Many Twitter users seemed extremely excited to book a one-way flight to Wakanda.Some people had questions about the trip,including the food and entertainment available.The Atlanta Airport responded to many of their requests. Even actor Lupita Nyong'o, who stars in Black Panther, wanted to know what films would be shown en route to Wakanda.Her movie suggestions were a play on real movie titles, but changed to include Black Panther names and characters. The airport's idea to announce a fictional flight from Atlanta to Wakanda reportedly came from Atlanta-area chef Darius Williams. A video on a popular social network shows Williams asking an airline employee to help him book a flight from Atlanta to Wakanda. The employee treated him with respect...but was understandably confused!
