Reason #216 why I love my home city of #Atlanta is because a majority of the critically acclaimed #BlackPanther movie was filmed here! Black Panther become such a big part of the city’s culture—especially since the weekend—to the point where us ATLiens are claiming that Atlanta is #Wakanda. ????????????????♂️
Atlanta’s Hartsfield-Jackson International Airport also made a major move for the culture this weekend after they began offering non-stop flights to Wakanda via #ATLForever✈! The journey is complete with fufu and yams and the in-flight movie is T’Challa To America ????
Now, we know that Wakanda is a fictional country, but this is a great example of when it’s okay to let our imaginations get the best of us. Check out some of the funniest reactions we’ve seen today! Even the mayor joined in! #WakandaForever!!
The bags are packed 😂😩 #WakandaForever pic.twitter.com/X8U554vWxh

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.

Sorghum, millet, rice, maize, peanuts, potatoes, beans, yams and okra. Grilled meat is common, particularly mutton, goat, beef and fish. Enjoy your flight and meal ✈️
