"One can say anything about Lublin airport, but they sure do consider IATA codes are serious business. The tone was set right from the parking lot entrance."

The reason Lublin's IATA code is so prominently exposed is because the word "luz" in Polish means - among others - the state of being relaxed, chilled out. Just a bit of marketing on the city's part.

"LAX" also is short for "relax", but I don't think it's physically possible to do any such thing within LA city limits.
I belive a big "LAX" signboard exists, based on a Google image search.

Many airports around the world have a large signboard.

There's literally an LA rapper called "Lil Xan"
So, the opposite of the emotions experienced when flying and going through airports.
It was a lot less shitty pre TSA when it was named.
