Are you still mourning the loss the of the tv show that made "Oceanic Flight 815" a household name? Even though LOST officially ended its six-season run back in May, the show is about to re-surface...too bad it's only in pieces.

On August 21-22, Santa Monica's Barker Airport Hanger will host an auction of over 1,000 items from the filming of LOST, including everything from the DHARMA Initiative's VW bus to complete outfits worn on screen by the cast. Whether or not you're interested in buying (the majority of the lots are valued in the $100s), the hanger will hold an exhibition of the items—like pop-up LOST museum—on the two days from 9am to 1pm, with entrance tickets costing $42. That also gets you in to watch or participate in the auction too, in case you're curious to see how much a 6-pack of DHARMA beer goes for.

LOST Isn't Over Yet; You Can Still Visit Their Filming Locations in Hawaii

May 24, 2010 at 8:33 AM | by | Comments (0)

The series finale of LOST happened last night, and if you’re a fan then today will be spent discussing the show over the watercooler. After a few days, you’ll finally settle upon some conclusion as to what it all means, and that's when you'll need something else to replace your love for the passengers aboard Oceanic flight 815.

If there’s no other television show to fill the gap in your life, you can always head to Hawaii to see where the whole show was filmed. There’s plenty of tour companies that will be happy to take you and your crew around Oahu to see various filming locations from the show. This idea is best for those who look forward to the lush scenery on the show just as much as the drama.

The Loss of LOST Might Mean the Rise of Hawaii

February 9, 2010 at 9:00 AM | by | Comments (2)

Dear fans of LOST, don't pout because you're only several more episodes away from the end of the final season of your show, because the cast members sure aren't worrying. In fact, they're already on the look out for the next gig, and Daniel Dae Kim is the first to find post-LOST success as he's already signed on to play Detective Chin Ho Kelly in the upcoming remake of the late 1960s detective drama series Hawaii Five-O.

So what does this mean for travel? Well for one, it means that couch potatoes are going see the beautiful beaches and vistas of Hawaii when the series airs eventually, and that's some serious subliminal messaging. This will trickle down to hopefully help the tourism end of Hawaii's economy which struggled majorly during the recession and still needs a boast in the bottom.

So if you enjoyed Daniel Dae Kim romping through the exotic wilds of Hawaii in LOST, stay tuned for Daniel Dae Kim romping through the beaches, hotels and wilds of Hawaii in Hawaii Five-O.

Book A Seat On LOST's Doomed Oceanic Flight 815

January 29, 2010 at 4:41 PM | by | Comments (0)

Anticipating next week's kickoff of Lost Season 6, the programmers at travel metasearch engine Kayak have buried a Lost-related easter egg deep in their site. If you've ever yearned to crack open the secrets to the Dharma Initiative—or not, as the case may be—you now have a chance to book a seat on Oceanic Flight 815, the route that began the entire mind-bending adventure. Via Mashable, all you have to do is punch in the right settings, hit Kayak's "Search" button, and an option for the self-evidently bad idea appears.

You can't really book the reservation, of course. Trying to lock it in will take you to a Lost Wikipedia entry on the doomed trans-Pacific flight. But it's still a nice little timewaster, especially if you're an obsessed fan. To unlock the easter egg, plug in a request for a SYD-LAX flight like you normally would. It has to be a one-way flight and the day has to be set for September 22, 2010, the series having aired for the first time on September 22, 2004. The price of the ticket is $4839 so you might want to sort by reverse price order after you get the results. If you've done everything right and you look down a couple rows, there it will be.

Chasing 'Lost' Season 5: The Incident

May 14, 2009 at 1:01 AM | by | Comment (1)

Just where in the world is LOST? Each episode, we're looking at the real and fictional locations of LOST from a travel perspective, and plotting them on our Google map. Be sure to check out all the map points, updated weekly!

This week, it's the big season finale. We have a few spoilers, so don't read any further if you are playing catch-up with your Tivo. Will the Island blow-up? Will Juliet and Sawyer sail off into the sunset in that tin can submarine? Will they ever stop creating more questions? Doubtful. The finale spends a lot of time introducing us to the legendary Jacob -- who looks like any other random guy on the island. The thing is, he keeps showing up in everyone's lives at different points. Everybody has met Jacob at some point in their journey. With all that travel, we sure hope he's banking all those frequent flier miles.

Chasing 'Lost' Season 5: Follow The Leader

May 7, 2009 at 1:06 AM | by | Comments (0)

Just where in the world is LOST? Each episode, we're looking at the real and fictional locations of LOST from a travel perspective, and plotting them on our Google map. Be sure to check out all the map points, updated weekly!

This week, we get lots of action and less head scratching. We're finally getting some answers, kinda. Last episode, Eloise shot her son, Daniel Faraday, not knowing that he was her son and also from the future. Jack and Kate get dragged into camp, and try to explain their preposterous story -- which Eloise believes. Richard Alpert busies himself at the top of the episode by building a model ship in a bottle. Since we know you've been dying to learn the secrets of building unlikely things inside bottles, you may want to check out eHow's step by step explanation of how to make the magic happen.

Chasing 'Lost' Season 5: The Variable

April 30, 2009 at 1:06 AM | by | Comments (0)

Just where in the world is LOST? Each episode, we're looking at the real and fictional locations of LOST from a travel perspective, and plotting them on our Google map. Be sure to check out all the map points, updated weekly!

This week, LOST drops a couple of big bombs, like how Eloise Hawking is Daniel Faraday's mother, and that Charles Widmore is his dad. We can't think of a worse parental combination. So, if it's true, this would mean that Penny Widmore is Faraday's half sister. The episode is titled The Variable, which is a reference to the human beings on the island. The equations remain true, it's the variables that change the outcome.

There are a couple of flashbacks that take us back to Oxford after Faraday has graduated. He and Eloise grab lunch at a local Indian restaurant near campus. If you're in the neighborhood and in the mood for some great Indian food, we found this handy list over at In Oxford Magazine.

Chasing 'Lost' Season 5: Some Like It Hoth

April 16, 2009 at 1:06 AM | by | Comment (1)

Just where in the world is LOST? Each episode, we're looking at the real and fictional locations of LOST from a travel perspective, and plotting them on our Google map. Be sure to check out all the map points, updated weekly!

This week, the focus is all on Miles and his backstory. After a few clips showing him as a boy and then rebellious young adult, we come to find that Dr. Marvin Candle is his father. Although Miles never knew his father in his first life, he has the unique opportunity to get to know him on the island.

Miles also has a gift for seeing dead people -- and by that, we mean he's a ghost whisperer. On an errand for Horace, he and Hurley deliver the body of a Dharma person who had an unfortunate incident with electromagnetism. A metal filling in a tooth came loose and exited his body through the head. Not a nice way to go. It got us wondering what resources there are for emergency dental work abroad. Since medical tourism is all the rage, you might want to check out what Healthbase has to say about dental tourism.

Chasing 'Lost' Season 5: Dead is Dead

Just where in the world is LOST? Each episode, we're looking at the real and fictional locations of LOST from a travel perspective, and plotting them on our Google map. Be sure to check out all the map points, updated weekly!

This week, it's all about Ben. Since last week's near-death experience, things just keep getting weirder. We catch a glimpse of life in the Hostiles encampment, which reminds us of rustic camping in the jungle, roughly halfway between M.A.S.H. and Gilligan's Island. Still, if roughing it in the jungle sounds cool, you might want to check out Taman Negara National Park in Malaysia, or Qoyllur Tours, which features ecotourism programs in Peru.

Just where in the world is LOST? Each episode, we're looking at the real and fictional locations of LOST from a travel perspective, and plotting them on our Google map. Be sure to check out all the map points, updated weekly!

This week, the drama surrounds little Ben and what happens to him after he's shot. It involves Sawyer, a pouty trek through the jungle, and a handoff to Richard Alpert. Also, we see flashes of Kate leaving Aaron with his grandmother before returning to the island. If all of this makes you want more, you might consider heading to Hawaii and checking out a few of the LOST set tours.

This week, we're on tour with Sayid and the cast of LOST.

Tikrit, Iraq
In a major flashback, Sayid chokes a chicken - literally. While we wouldn't recommend visiting the region at the moment, Iraq has a wide selection of historical sites and other points of interest. Tikrit is an interesting bet, but maybe you want to wait a few years.

Where Fans of 'Lost' Will Want to Hang Out

March 24, 2009 at 9:11 AM | by | Comments (0)

Most fans of Lost think you need to visit Hawaii where the show films to fulfill your own personal Dharma Initiative, but we think you'd be just as happy knocking back a few cocktails at the El Avion Bar inside the Hotel Costa Verde in Costa Rica.

The bar (and restaurant and coffee shop) is crafted out of a Fairchild C-123, one of the controversial cargo planes used in the 80's Iran-Contra affair. The bar-plane overlooks the Manual Antonio National Park with its beaches, lush vegetation and killer ocean views. It's almost like you're back on "the island."
