Book a Flight to Atlanta

The capital of the southern American state of Georgia, Atlanta has a varied and colourful past. Having played key roles in both the American Civil War and the 20th century Civil Rights Movement, it is one the USA’s most important and historic cities. Today, visitors will find it packed with an intriguing mix of colonial-era architecture, excellent museums and staggering skyscrapers.

 

When to Book Cheap Flights to Atlanta

If you want to know why the Deep South was once home to the USA’s cotton plantations, look no further than its subtropical climate. Receiving plentiful rainfall and humidity in high summer, visitors tend to visit Atlanta during spring and early autumn to avoid the uncomfortably hot weather. Besides the summer heat, August also sees the arrival of students coming in their droves to study at one of the city’s universities.

To find cheap flights to Atlanta, you should avoid these peak times. A much better time to find cheaper flights is in winter, when the temperature drops but Atlanta still has plenty of activities to keep visitors entertained.

How to survive the flight to Atlanta?
We’ve rounded up all the info you need to make your journey an enjoyable experience. Follow our tips and tricks and you’ll be zooming through airport security and seeing the best of Atlanta before you know it.What to pack in your hand luggage:

  • It’s simple — first, pack in your passport, travel documents, cash and medications. Next, you’ll want some entertainment to help pass the time. A thrilling book and a laptop crammed with your favourite shows are always good options. If you hope to take a short snooze, a neck pillow and some earplugs will also be useful. Finally, leave space for a toothbrush and some cleansing wipes to ensure you hop off the plane looking and feeling fresh.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

  • While the list of prohibited items differs between air carriers, the general guide to follow is avoid carrying anything sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes screwdrivers, knives, fireworks and fuel. Sports equipment like ice skates, and items that could harm other people, such as pepper spray and guns, aren’t allowed in the cabin either.

What to wear on a flight:

  • The long, narrow aisles of a plane are not the best place for a fashion parade. Layer up with comfortable clothing and remember to bring a cardigan as it can get chilly inside the cabin. Slightly roomy, flat shoes are always a good idea too.
  • Unfortunately, one risk of long-distance flying is developing deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged inactivity. To prevent this, make the most of every opportunity to walk around and give your legs a stretch. Compression tights and socks are another great idea to help minimize this risk.

How to get through airport security fast when flying to Atlanta?
As savvy travellers know, the secret is to be well prepared before you get to airport security. That way, you’ll be boarding that plane to Atlanta in a flash. Follow these tips and get your holiday off to a flying start:

  • First things first. Your boarding pass and passport will need to be presented to security personnel. Keep them at hand so you don’t hold up the line.
  • Time to strip down. Well sort of. Your coat, belt, keys and other items in your pocket, like your earphones, will be required to go through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process faster by removing them as it gets closer to your turn.
  • All your electronic devices, including your phone and laptop, must also be scanned.
  • Don’t forget to remove liquids and gels from your carry-on bag. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray machine separately. Each item should be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit inside a quart-size (one litre), clear zip-close bag.
  • Lightweight sneakers are a clever footwear choice as you’re less likely to have to remove them when going through security. Safety boots and other heavy-style shoes are usually subjected to extra screening.
  • Avoid taking prohibited items in your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp or pointed objects, pack them safely away in your checked baggage. They won’t be allowed on board.
