The lure of low cost, lightweight & independent travel once again beckons. Living in youth hostels & pensions, eating off the side of the road with long cramped rides on buses, trains, ferries carting only what we can carry on our backs. The post GFC environment sees me once again hitting well worn tracks to explore cultures, sights and interact with people.

Atlanta Airport
Arriving at the hub that is Atlanta airport, I am surprised that the actual airport is somewhat dowdy. What isn't disappointing is the comings and goings involved; Delta has a huge involvement here, a number of concourse were dedicated to Delta flights. I was almost left with the impression that Alanta airport was Delta airport - such was their span of control.
This was the first time I had flown internally in the United States, I was very impressed at the level of organisation. Flights arrive, people change planes for final destinations, I have learned that there aren't many direct flights in the US, the airlines all use the hub business model. Atlanta airport is a pretty slick operation, the number of flights was mind blowing, scheduling must be a nightmare, this isn't even the busiest airport in the US.
