Parking lot closures, full lots.
No staff and longer than normal waits in security.

Get there 3-4 hours early. Sorry to say it. Have some beers if you breeze thru.

Atlanta needs a second airport. They are just trying to put too many people through that one airport. I wish a second one would be built in North Atlanta and Southwest would move there.

Traveling to or traveling thru? I went thru ATL airport two weeks ago with no parking issues. Rather short layover and everything was on time.

If the security has no staff you should be able to walk right through.

After living in Denver and flying out of both places, both really could use a smaller secondary airport. It’s ridiculous trying to get through either.

There's like a 5 minute window depending on your flight time to breeze through security at DIA. You miss that window, hold on to your butts

I connected there on Tuesday. I truly dislike that airport. Hell, we DROVE for 20 minutes ON THE TARMAC JUST TO TAKE OFF!

Only a couple of places open to get a meal, and the one's that were open, had lines a mile long.

This isn’t just an Atlanta problem, it’s nationwide. Congrats to those that voted for this

That was 2 weeks ago. School is out. Summer is here. Employees are not. Common sense is not.

Can confirm that Nashville airport was a cluster last weekend at the restaurants and bars. Really long lines, out of food, looked like service sucked.

At least TSA was well staffed and operating normally.

PDK would be a great candidate. Just expand it and move SW and American there.

I feel like I'm halfway back home by the time I'm done taxiing there.

Photo ID is racist. I can never find mine in early November but if I want to brawl at the Spirit gate I can find it every time.

Or Dobbins or Chattanooga if they would step up their game.
