The busiest day is expected to be Friday, Sept. 4, with over 335,000 passengers projected to pass through ATL. Travelers are encouraged to plan ahead and keep these tips in mind:

• Arrive early: Passengers should arrive at least two hours before a scheduled domestic departure. International travelers should allow at least three hours.
• Pack carefully: Check all luggage before arriving at the Airport. Unload firearms and ammunition, secure them properly, and place them only in checked baggage. For more information, visit TSA’s “What Can I Bring?” page.
• Stay informed: Real-time parking availability, security wait times, and concessions information are available at ATL.com. Travelers can also follow @ATLairport on social media for updates throughout the holiday period.
• Check with your airline: For flight status, gate assignments, baggage requirements, and other flight-specific details, passengers should check directly with their airline and monitor its website or social media channels.
• Plan ahead for parking and ground transportation: You may need extra time for parking, passenger drop-offs, and pickups during the holiday travel period. Those picking up arriving passengers should check flight status before heading to the Airport.
