ABC's New Show 'Pan Am' Just Landed at San Diego Comic-Con

Among the endless rows of comic booths on the Comic-Con International floor, the upcoming ABC series Pan Am has landed. The show, starring Christina Ricci, is about a glamorous group of stewardesses and pilots flying for Pan Am in the 1960s who bring some serious drama—everything from passion to jealousy and, of course, espionage—to the skies.

To promote the new show, ABC has built a first-class cabin from a 1960s Pan Am plane which will "take flight" every ten minutes. To catch the next flight, just stop by their booth (#3921) for a boarding pass.

Headed to Comic-Con? Bring Your Badge to Dinner for Discounts in San Diego

Badges for Comic-Con, which kicks off in San Diego on Wednesday, are completely gone. But if you were lucky enough to score one early, you'll not only get into the convention; this year you'll get special offers on local eats too!

SDCC has recently teamed up with several local restaurants who will offer discounts for Comic-Con attendees. Just wear your badge to any participating restaurant and receive specials like discounts up to 20%, free appetizers, and buy one get one free deals.

Most participating restaurants are located in downtown San Diego around the Gaslamp (up Fourth, Fifth, and Sixth Avenues), Seaport Village (behind the Marriott Marquis & Marina and Manchester Grand Hyatt), and the East Village (up Market Street and east of PETCO Park).

Check out the official map of restaurants, including details about what deals each are offering to Comic-Con participants, at Comic-Con.org.
