Visited by 007 Travelers: July 2023

Bond does not visit Los Angeles Airport in Ian Fleming‘s “Moonraker” (1956), but does so in Christopher Wood‘s novelization (1979) of the movie.

“Bond came down the corridor from the 747 at Los Angeles Airport feeling a familiar sense of jet-lagged irritation that he had to relive half a day of his life. Still, at least nobody had pushed him out of the aeroplane this time, and the cold buffet in first class had been a welcome change from the usual overheated plastic food made particularly unbearable by the bestowal of fatuous titles in gastronomic French. There has even been a well-chilled bottle of Puligny-Montrachet rejoicing the eye with the 1971 printed on its damp label.”
