  • Contrary to expectations, 'Carry-On' wasn't actually filmed at LAX, but rather at Vancouver International Airport - a creative workaround that allowed the production to capture the frenetic energy of a major airport hub without the logistical headaches of shooting at one of the world's busiest travel hubs.
