I have a little different take on ATL...being retired with a low priority, I avoid it like the plague....even without considering I was on the Hilton Shuttle bus crash in May and spent four days in the hospital from hell in Atlanta.. :-) Going to LHR, look at MSP and DTW...way less non revs in my opinion. My two cents...

If anyone has any other helpful hints or tips, that would be great!

Thanks everyone
