Atlanta is pretty bad. Dallas is a wannabe LA & Atlanta is a wannabe Dallas.


The only good thing about DFW is the Centurion Lounge (which you have to ride a slow arse train to get to most the time).

The only good thing about LAX is that Hermosa Beach is about 10 mins away.

Atlanta is extremely easy to navigate, the train goes fast and there is even a train to a car rental center. Waiting on a car rental bus or even worse a National bus is horrible.

Atlanta is an airport done right and that is why it is able to handle the traffic.

2-3 minutes from your car to the train. 2 minutes waiting on the train. 4 minutes to terminal stop. 2 minutes down the escalator to TSA pre check


Then add another 5 minutes for TSA pre & luggage check. Then another 5 minutes to get to terminal C after you get past security. Don't forget on waiting 2-3 minutes if National is backed up which it almost always is. And way more than 2 minutes to security. You'll spend at least a minute on the escalator.

This really is not some absolutely horrible amount of time. What airports do you normally fly out of, because I would take this time frame WAY over DFW, PHX or many other comparably sized airports.

I actually park offsite and have to take a bus to the terminal. I guarantee you that It takes longer than the rental car train and the walk you make. If my flight is at 12:00 I can be waiting on the bus at 11:00 and make it to my gate in time for the beginning of boarding.

I don't know if it counts as "large" (I'm guessing it does) but Charlotte is pretty nice.

And they've got a Cinnabon.

Well that's a good thing because being an auditor sounds horrible.

Can someone remind me what 'Jackson' had to do with the creation of that airport?

Nice.

I am currently on a flight where literally everyone has status. I am 16/63 for the 1 FC seat available.

This is insane
