Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport aka: ATL

Boy, whoever thought this place would make a great hub was smoking crack. Extremely busy and poorly organized. Don’t be suprised if you get lost or delayed trying to get to a gate to make a flight! I have been here a few times and find it a disaster. I don’t care how much money they put into expanding this place. One description : IT SUCKS. Count on spending time here when you miss your connecting flight!

i got lost. all three times. and 10 minute layovers are just wrong.

I actually drove out of my way to visit this airport. From a little city it was something to see! I have not flown into it, or been back since.

Biggest airport I’ve ever been in – crazy and busy and kinda scary! I took the train and got off at the wrong end – thought I was gonna be stuck forever!

They just built a firestation for the airport and bought two new “piercing trucks” they drive across the grass/runways at up to 200 mph to pierce the fuselage of the plane and spray in a foam to help prevent a plane on fire from exploding the fuel. Pretty neat.

and had about an hour layover! thie was the first time i had popeyes chicken. it was good. haha. didnt see anything other than the inside of the airport and airports are always busy.

To much traffic driving ,walking, on the train,on the escalator!!!!!keep all personals cloes to you and take alot with you i guess….too clutered!!Drive where you gotta go!!OR go early

A lot of stores, and many different nationalities passing through. Big, but well laid out.

Since I was flying “stand-by” on a buddy pass, I knew that my time spent within the airport could be substantial.

The first day I travelled through, my layover was just over 4 hours… Yawn!!! I spent the whole time reading a book.

On my way back home to California from Georgia, I was given the choice to either be driven an hour and a half from Warner Robins to Atlanta and have only a short wait before my flight… or to fly from Macon to Atlanta and face a 7 hour wait for a flight that I might not even be able to get on.

Out of respect for my sister who was nine months pregnant and would have had to drive me, I decided on the latter.

I did quite a bit or reading on that day as well, but I also walked around and checked out the shops and did some very interesting “people watching”.

It really wasn’t so bad… but I was obviously relieved when I was finally issued a boarding pass 7 hours after arriving there that morning.

If I hadn’t been absolutely broke, I would have ventured out into the city for a few hours, but as luck would have it, I was travelling with less than $20 to my name… so my whole Atlanta experience took place within the airport.

Oh well. at least I can say that, Yes, I have been to atlanta. :o)

Give yourself plenty of time- it is the world’s busiest airport. You will possibly miss your plane if you don’t.
