Up to 7 airports are located in Los Angeles. Here's a tip: If you plan to take an internal flight, leaving or going to Los Angeles, look carefully at the airport code.

Re: Flight Attendants favorite foods
Some of those are clearly front-of-the-plane choices! In economy, I've taken to describing the meals as sharing an important characteristic with school lunches: Everyone complains, but they're really not bad at all. Just recently, though, we had upgrades on Qatar that put us in a different food world. A la carte meals, nicely-plated and served (no plasticware!) and it may have spoiled me.

Re: 9 Delicious Foods Named After Places Around the Globe
I have often asked for Worcestershire Sauce in American Restaurants - same as I do at home in England. But have always been refused. Years later when dining with my American family I discovered that it was not called Worcester Sauce - but received its full title. It surprised me as Americans have a penchant for shortening the names of produce. I often ask for a Bud and a Big Mac on my travels. But I cant in America ! (English pronunciation for Worcestershire Sauce is Wuster Sauce)

"The problem we should have with 'colonial charm'"
Everywhere we go, and everything we marvel at, has a history beyond its surface, a litany of what was there before, and who lived, worked and worshiped there. But often we allow ourselves to not think about that, to marvel at the charm or beauty of what is there now, without thinking about how it came to be.
