TAKE TO THE SKIES Atlanta is home to the busiest airport in the world, and between Thanksgiving and New Year’s, it gets even busier! If you’re going to catch a flight this holiday season, here are a few tips to help make the journey easier. Experts recommend that you arrive at the airport at least two hours before your flight, but around the holidays, you should give yourself an extra hour on top of that.

No matter how prepared you are, fl ying during the holidays always comes with some degree of stress. When you hit a rough patch, remember to take a deep breath and keep your cool. What matters most is arriving safely to see your family.
