CVG generally does quite well since it has all the equipment of a large hub, but only about half of the service. I can't remember the last time I've experienced a weather delay at CVG that was caused by weather in the local area. It's always somewhere else.

Anyone ever taken a 3PM TATL flight before? Are they are brutal as they look? Looking at a 3PM departure from ATL, arriving 0600 AMS.

The 3 pm departure isn't so bad unless you're trying to do work stuff in your office that day. The horrible aspect is the 6 am arrival into AMS or CDG if you're not connecting onward. You're likely to be homeless in the city for many hours before being able to get into your hotel room.
