Once I was close in line , I noticed passengers also entering the que from the other side. Question is, is there another pre-check entry point in Atlanta other than the one from the south terminal?
Thanks.

Yes, pre-check can get insanely long on both Monday and Tuesday. The only saving grace is that the normal PAX lines look like the evacuation line from Vietnam in 1975, so you are still better off.

My tricks for surviving Atlanta on business travel:

1) Fly out the night before whenever possible. (no line, more relaxed. Wake up closer to your client and refreshed.)

2) If you can't do # 1, drive to the International Concourse and go through security there. There is no pre-check on that side, but there is NEVER a line so you blow right through. The downside is that the parking over there is park & ride (extra 10 min). The upside is you are always in an enclosed garage with plenty of room.
