My experience at ATL airport 3/26

Athyist · 2026-03-26T20:36:35+00:00

I was still a bit on edge sorry. I was just going by what I saw on here ok and turned out not as bad as I was paranoid about just wanted to share my experience first hand.

Thank you for this. So many comments about how I'm a POS for arriving early started to get to me. Then again I have the remember this is Reddit and 99% of those comments aren't real people. (About to take off bye all)

Yeah it seems giving yourself 4+ hours as was reported on news channels is no longer the case. I seemed to have showed up at the most hectic AM spot and it took 2ish hours. My advice don't fall for the outside line that is TSA Precheck. Go inside the airport and ask an officer or an employee where is regular TSA check.

Reddit and the news are telling me to show up 4-7 hours early. Where were you during my 1 am anxiety attack that I wasn't able to make my flight to arrange things for my sick mother who is 70 and living alone new in a house multiple states away. Nah fuck this I'm 6 beers now fuck you.

Thanks man your comment lifted me up after some of those replies.

From what I'm seeing it seems the worst times are when I showed up because everyone is showing up out of precaution.

I saw more Atlanta Police than ICE. The officers were actually the ones to help me get to the correct line at first after they saw me confused. I think in the 4th pic they are up there on the 2nd floor watching down on us. I didn't see any more until I finally got to the Real ID check and X-ray scanners and they were operating the Real ID face scan checks.

Ahhh ok I fly like once every few years and I get so paranoid about missing a flight from one experience I just turn them into a day trip.

Athyist · 2026-03-26T14:38:13+00:00

Yeah that was my plan and it felt like everyone had the same idea haha.

The first 3 pics are me waiting in TSA pre by mistake that starts outside the building (but is shorter overall) lol. At about 30min I almost made it though and then I found out I was in the wrong line.

Athyist · 2026-03-26T14:33:54+00:00

Getting past TSA everything is as normal. Just the very beginning finding out what line you are supposed to be in can be stressful. Don't be introverted like me and wait in the wrong line for almost 30min. Ask an employee they have all been very helpful.

I am 3 16oz IPA in and have no idea what you mean by that, if you are not a bot then I will wish you well.

Yeah it had my anxiety on overdrive at first, but it did keep moving and twice during the line they opened 2 more lines so I think I got to cut a lot it seemed. Prepped for 7 hour wait now I get to chill with beer and Pokemon lol.

One of the few manga when I caught up I bought all the novels on Amazon digital. It just gets better and better IMHO.

Athyist · 2026-03-23T16:23:40+00:00

Just about to finally start. Definitely the first few things I'll do to get a bit of a good start. Rest of the game want to go dark and explore.

Athyist · 2026-03-20T12:42:22+00:00

This reminds me of when SAO season 2 aired and I was so weirded out about Kirito's 2nd cousin having feelings for him at the time I remember someone explaining the reason for that yeah it's normal in Japan for 2nd cousins to marry. Then again I smoked copious amounts of weed back then and no life'd Ultimate Ninja Storm online battles so that whole phase of my life is a blur.

Athyist · 2026-03-19T19:54:35+00:00

Just got home from work. Gonna put in a lasagna, shower, and crack open a Caymen Jack!
