I am from South Carolina, a small state with small airports, so any time I want to fly anywhere, even domestically, I always go through ATL. I’ve been here 10+ times. It is the busiest, largest airport in the world. Where do I even begin with this thing?

Well, first off, it’s huge. If I only saw it from the ground rather than flying in from above it, I’d never be able to truly grasp the size of this complex. When I see it from above, it looks amazing. Especially when the runways are lit up at night. There must be so many things to be considered when designing an airport of this scale in order to keep the planes constantly taking off and landing on schedule. I couldn’t imagine taking on the daunting task of designing this airport.

Inside, the airport is not so much amazing as it is chaotic. For how big it seems on the outside, all of that space is occupied on the inside and you find yourself weaving your way through people traffic when making the long journey to your connecting flight. This can give me a bit of a more stressful vibe compared to the great view of the building that I get from above.
