Atlanta Hartsfield-Jackson Opens New Terminal and Delta SkyClub

Today marks the official opening of the Maynard H. Jackson International Terminal at Atlanta’a Hartsfield-Jackson Airport.  Concourse F spans 1.2 million-square-feet and includes 12-gates capable of handling wide-bodied planes.  It provides a second front door to the airport, security checkpoints, U.S. Customs facility, two parking structures, state-of-the-art Delta Sky Club, and an ...

Even though I was in economy class, the weekend made me realize that a lot is missing on United/Continental.
