We travel May 11. Should we expect any weather problems?
I spent an hour chatting with Delta, error messages and all. I found an earlier flight out of RDU. But the Delta agent said "oh you have no availability in Comfort Plus on the ATL-FCO flight", despite already holding seats and a reservation. I don't understand this part.
MCT at ATL for this itin is still 40 min as indicated at the top of this thread. 1 hr 7 min should be fine. All concourses are connected airside at ATL. There are no security or immigrations checks for domestic to international connections in US (they just check passport when boarding). If there is weather in the area, you might want to see if you can get on earlier an flight, but otherwise I wouldn't bother.
