Delta Air Lines is advising passengers flying out of Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport (ATL) to arrive three hours early due to expected longer security wait times. This comes as the airline's operations recover from disruptions caused by winter weather.
Delta has faced approximately 375 cancellations of mainline and Delta Connection flights as of midday Saturday. The airline is working to stabilize its operations after Winter Storm Cora affected its busiest hub on Friday. "Now that Winter Storm Cora has passed and conditions have improved, we are working to stabilize throughput at ATL and anticipate manageable weather across the system and the resumption of reliable service this weekend," a Delta spokesperson stated.
Passengers should prepare for extended wait times at security checkpoints and plan accordingly. An embargo on minors traveling alone remains in effect through Monday in Atlanta. Additionally, Delta continues to waive checked bag fees for flights operated by Delta until late Saturday night, excluding those departing from Amsterdam.
