With the location, simple infrastructure layout to easily move massive amount of passengers and with 5 parallel runways allowing multiple takeoffs/landings at the same time, Atlanta is the gold standard of what a hub airport should be.

The ATL is my home airport, so I know I’m going to sound like a shameless homer, but I LOVE Hartsfield. It’s easy to get in and out. Arrivals and Departures are great for the person traveling and the person dropping off/picking up. There may be more beautiful airports, but the ATL does it all!

I connect there seemingly every time I fly. Probably my favorite huge airport I've ever been to. It's so well designed and organized. I don't know how you could get lost there.. ATL is light-years ahead of Miami, LAX, JFK, Laguardia, Charlotte, Chicago, Heathrow, Charles de Gaulle, Toronto, and every other hub I've been to.

Travelled through Atlanta a few times, it's my favourite airport to transfer through. Staff are very friendly and helpful.

Linear layout with excellent signage and information, a train between all the concourses, mass transit access to the city, a train to the rental car area (if that's your thing), two large security checkpoints and crazy fast precheck lines. You really can't beat it for airport efficiency.

I fly through Atlanta often as my most of my family is on the east coast and I prefer Delta to other airlines. The airport is huge and the 2 hrs early for domestic flights is accurate. You can easily miss your flight if you don't get there early enough. Plenty of great shopping and apron views for those with time on there hands and the Delta lounge is AMAZING.

Once you go through Hartsfield-Jackson, you'll never look at any other Airport the same. I find myself always looking for the conveniences that it has when visiting other airports.

There are two other advantages not mentioned. First, Atlanta has good weather year around and winter delays and closures do not really affect it since it almost never snows. Secondly, there are 3 runways that can be used for simultaneous landings due to its distance between runways. This might not seem important, but during LIFR operations it can handle much greater operations than any other airport. Also the ATC in Atlanta is just a Swiss watch of precision. These guys have it down to a science. I fly regularly in the Atlanta class B and its a ballet of planes.

My home airport, and I live 20 minutes away. I even worked there as a seasonal employee when I was in college. It’s very busy on the scenes and behind, but we kept it moving. As stressful as it was, we always took pride in being kind, courteous and offering Southern hospitality. Always fly Delta if you are coming through or to Atlanta. Security TSA can be long, but unless there is a disruption, I’ve waited 20-25 minutes at most. We keep it moving. It’s an absolute must to arrive 2 hours before your flight, especially if you are checking a bag. The airport is a major employer for the city, and one of our crown jewels.

When I went to Atlanta airport (only once) the experience was really good. Even though there were so many passengers the line went very smoothly. Way faster than SFO and JFK which I have been to

Hartsfield-Jackson is definitely huge and overwhelming! But, it's still probably one of the least overwhelming huge airports in the US. Much less overwhelming than JFK, Chicago, etc.

I love ATL airport and the underground train system that leads to the concourses is just brilliant 👏🏿

ATL is a wonderful airport. You’d think that it would be difficult to navigate or be overcrowded since it’s the busiest airport in the world, but the exact opposite is true. Easy to use subway style system, friendly staff (for airport standards), and lots of open space. It’s definitely my preferred US airport.

My city is an easy 20 min DL or WN flight to/from ATL. I can fly to pretty much anywhere in the world with one simple connection.

I have never had any issue in ATL other than summer storms... which I'd take in ATL any day over storms in DFW or ORD!

Efficient and easy to navigate: a winning combination.

I regularly fly into ATL. One thing that ATL has is Taxi way Victor. This taxiway at the end of the runway allows planes to taxi directly off the runway after landing without stopping and go directly to the gates without having to wait to crossways runways. It might not seem like much but makes a big difference.

I have connected through ATL several times and even with changing terminals I have never had a problem.

My home airport. Can get nearly anywhere in the world direct, certainly anywhere in the US. Love it at KATL.

I love flying through Atlanta. It’s Not a boring place to spend time between connecting flights. There’s lots of aircraft movements and people to watch. And the underground train that runs between terminals is definitely professional grade and fast

Atlanta is my favorite! It’s the best airport to change planes!

Thank you for this video.

If I were a foreign flight going to the US over the Atlantic with eventual stop in almost any city west of Atlanta, I'd make Atlanta my first stop since it's near the coast and it's rarely affected by bad weather.

Until Delta closed their acquired hub in Memphis, (along with the help of various low-cost, point-to-point options available), I was able to avoid connecting through Atlanta for the bulk of my adult flying life. It's a fine airport, easy to navigate for its size.

I've probably flown out and into that airport a hundred times and it's just easy to get through. I've even made it to the airport with less than an hour before my flight and still managed to get to the terminal before it left.

I took this route on the A333 before, always packed to the gills. So obviously the tech stop is the best option. Just glad Delta ordered more A359s. This is one route if they had any to spare would be easier to drop a few on

Actually I have in 2019 and I was impressed by its efficiency. Even there is only one security check line, you were always moving and even there are five Terminals, you are quick there with the rail. I had several flights in and out of ATL as I chose it as a base for my US trip and as said in the clip, one of the advantages is its geographical location. I had to go to Cleveland and visited New Orleans. The only reason I will probably fly into Boston again next time is the customs and immigrations office which is much easier and faster at a smaller airport of course.
