This airport in Atlanta is monstrous. After checking in, I had to take a train inside the airport to the gate. And it took like four stops.
The largest airport I've been in prior to this one was JFK, which also has a train but not actually inside the building.
Chicago - now that's a huge airport!

Originally posted by divegeesterI'd say JFK is bigger than Chicago, but it's hard to tell. I've Only passed through Chicago without actually leaving the airport, just different terminals. Heathrow and Madrid are pretty big as well.

I'm at an airport in Georgia, and it's 8:13 am as I'm posting this. I checked in, went through the metal detectors, and got to a bar by about 7:40 and am on my second Corona. I'd say 7:40 is about the earliest I've ever started drinking. The Corona goes nicely with my craziest omelette.
What about you guys?
Charter flights are so early and what else is there to do?
Probably 4am (opening time)

Alcohol, earplugs, eye-mask and iPad.
Valium is good too for that brat kicking your seat. No, not for him, for you.

I had a bottle of champagne at dawn on my twentieth birthday followed by a couple of bowls of Red Lebanese and then the last episode of The Prisoner on a Betamax video machine, before setting off for my lecture.

Danish breakfast with schnaps.
"Gammel Dansk - traditionally drunk by Danes at certain festive occasions, often in connection with breakfast meals, brunch or at wedding anniversaries and birthday celebrations (which in Denmark traditionally begins in the morning). The name "Gammel Dansk" translates directly from Danish as "Old Danish..."
