I was glad that they kept the Sky Clubs open until around 2 AM.
I can't say I've had a flight that changed gates at least 4 or 5 times (I lost count of however many as was dog tired) with the mass herd of people following the changes up and down the A-concourse.
Was the most impressive line for the change/assistance desk I can ever recall at ATL. (At least in the A concourse)
I was flying back to SNA yesterday from JFK and am so glad that there was now a non-stop so I did not have to travel via ATL. Would not have been fun I'm sure.
The SNA flight flew north almost into Canada to fly around the storm over DTW at the time and landed about 15 minutes late (not to bad). Last week on at least one of the days the JFK-SNA flight landed 45-minutes early!!!
That tells you how far out of the way the plane was routed.
