You spend an inordinate amount of time fighting ill-controlled crowds and trying to get through security with poorly trained TSA guards yelling directions at you the entire time. And the worst? Coming from a flight from Germany, they had me do a baggage claim again. Madness! Once you get the bags you checked in from your point of origin, they make you check it back in again and travel through multiple terminals to get them back. I have never seen that before, and as a frequent traveler, I have seen quite a few airports. In the future, I will try to avoid ATL by all means.
It's a shame because otherwise I am a huge fan of the Southern Charm.  |
Oh, heck yeah, Alex. I got stranded at ATL in January of 2005 in the process of moving from Texas to Illinois. Only perk of the whole thing was we made CNN news...I guess ice storms in Atlanta are somewhat rare.
