Airports are annoying at the best of times I'm glad the great state of Georgia has the presence of mind to let people de-stress in their airports via smoking and drinking and possibly taking a bunch of xanax.

Hey are they still doing construction and loving up domestic flights? I'm going to Tampa in August and can't decide if I wanna just drive to skip the hassle

Also ATL owns, I rolled up with a sandwich bag crammed full of tiny booze bottles and the checkin lady just looked at me and said "I didn't see that don't let me see that" and I got blitzed on the plane A+ will fly Delta again

still doing construction yes, but not in the walkways between b and a. Center court in a is still getting work, will report on f when I get there after this beer

loving up domestic flights idk about that, my flight here was hosed but it wasn't Atlanta fault. I did miss my original CDG flight but in the next so it's fine

I've flown out of well over 30 domestic airports and the best are probably San Jose, CA and Madison, WI. Zero lines, no backscatter bullshit, walks from counter to terminal are small; when you come off a flight the baggage is already going before you get there. Good airports.

If you're not waking up at your destination with absolutely no memories of how you got there you done hosed up, imo.

I like airports where they have cool local food in the terminal; Austin, Denver, and Chicago are really good for this (wtf DCA, no Ben's Chili Bowl???). ATL has a few good soul-food places but that's kind of heavy for a quick airport snack. Though they do have one Savannah-based shop that has a rep at ATL selling fudge and pralines and all. I lived in Savannah a few months and I swear those fuckers have a praline-based economy.

ATL just needs more places that are spin-offs of local favorites instead of national corporate chains, more bars that are tributes to local hip bars and serve Georgian brews, etc. And in particular to balance out their "huge plate of stew and greens" they need to have, I dunno, more places selling Georgia-themed shrimp-wraps and pimento cheese sandwiches for the grab-and-go crowd.

Reminder that Atlanta closed down gates to put re-booking kiosks in. It is a bad airport run by bad people, built by bad people, and filled with bad people.

You are bad and wrong if you like it and you should feel bad and for liking that cesspit that tells people it's an airport and not a smelly series of boxes you go to contemplate death in.

Well it sucks in that all airports suck and there's about a million other things I'd rather do than fly commercial. But that's just an understood baseline. Like I remember my last time at LGA some poo poo was broken and they told me just to throw my poo poo on this great big pile of suitcases. I was like, "uhhh... are you sure?". It looked like the airport from the fifth element.
