LAXplored: Unexpected Adventures Around the Los Angeles Airport (#178)

Above: Brendan recreating a scene from Jackie Brown at an LAX color tunnel

The #nerdbirds celebrate six years since the Virgin America final flight with a meetup at the Los Angeles airport. Brendan and Rachel review the Flight Path Museum and a presentation on the history of LAX, and share tips on spots that are mostly walkable (!) from the airport, from burgers with planes coming in just overhead to the airport’s famous color tunnels. Rachel also reviews the latest security innovation with Delta’s Digital ID, along with their newest lounge, and shares seat advice for sunset photography from the sky.
