Is the ATL Power Outage Shutdown Affecting Anyone? (12/17-18/2017)
Hey folks...
I originally was booked on a flight today from ATL-SEA...but I felt unwell a day ago so rebooked the same route for tomorrow (12/18)....AS 745. As of now, all is ok but there is not an obvious end to the ATL outage. Anyway, I'm not asking for anything special but if some of you clever folks have some insight re: sticking to this flight or rescheduling, i would be grateful. I am fortunate that I have family close by and no real commitments until Thursday (I did book the 6am Th flight as a backup).

Thank you!

I'd hold tight for now. If everything goes pear-shaped tomorrow you're probably best taking the Thursday flight given that ATL isn't exactly a hotspot of AS flights and given the the holidays you might not get much earlier than that anyways on a reschedule.

I was at DFW when I saw the outtage on CNN. I quickly checked the origin of my incoming flight. Not ATL.
You just never know.

Well you do know with AS since its same plane turn SEA-ATL-SEA, so no worries elsewhere.

The fact that AS does not fly ATL-DFW would also tend to eliminate the possibility
