We left hotel @ 7:15A, zero traffic. Got to ATL, north domestic terminal (AA) in nothing flat. Very little line at the AA check-in counter, there was a line at Southwest (walked past it), but wasn't ridiculous. The TSA PRE line was open and there was a total of one person taking off her shoes at the metal detector. (Yes, she was confused.) Other lines had people, but no way it was more than 30 minutes and probably less. There's an Admiral's Club here. Given only 4 AA gates, I'm pleasantly surprised. It is not on any of the signs. The people behind the desk say the airport will not allow any lounge on the signs, so do not get discouraged if you don't see yours. Board looked very good, only one cancelation and one late flight on AA. Hope it stays that way today. Just FYI: There's a storm warning for Boston area Sat morning to Sun morning, minimum of 8 inches. Unlike ATL, that won't close the city, but it absolutely will impact travel at least a little. So if you are going to the northeast, you might have problems on the destination end even if ATL is clear. Good luck to you all! -- TTFN, patrick
Thanks for the update! I fly out tomorrow night, so if anyone is still in Atlanta and would like to meet up for dinner - please send me an email. I will be transferring to the Marriott today since the Westin needs my room. Wishing everyone safe travels home. --- Krista Colonna Product Management | Verizon Enterprise Solutions Tel: +1 602 734 3012 | Mob: +1 480 209-5370 2525 E Camelback Road, Suite 400, Phoenix, AZ, 85016, USA --- Visit us at www.VerizonEnterprise.com Click here to Manage Your Account Online LinkedIn | Twitter | Facebook | YouTube -----Original Message----- From: Patrick W.

I concur with that report. I arrived at the airport via MARTA around 8:50a today. By 9:15a I was checked in via US Air and through security. The security check was maybe all of 5 minutes. The horror stories of yesterday didn't seem to exist at 9:00a Friday morning. Now I've got time to burn before my 2p flight out. -Alby On 2/14/2014 8:48 AM, Patrick W. Gilmore wrote:
