It seems that Black Panther fever has reached Atlanta’s Hartsfield-Jackson International Airport. Earlier this week, following the movie’s opening weekend, the airport shared a photo of a terminal with a 7:30pm departure for Wakanda on ATL 1234.

The flood of positive Twitter response also included a response from Lupita Nyong’o, one of the stars of the movie:
We've gotta have some music on the in-flight entertainment too. Now streaming: Killmonger Me Softly, T'Challa Back Girl, M'Baku That Thang Up, Straight Outta Wakanda, N'Jadaka Said Knock You Out.

And while Wakanda is, of course, a fictional place and this a fictional flight, several Twitter users pointed out that Atlanta itself is as close to Wakanda as you can get this side of a comic book as a large portion of the movie was filmed in Atlanta and other parts of Georgia with the help of a generous serving of CGI.
