Recently, it was revealed that the Worlds Busiest Airport, KATL is no longer that. It has been surpassed by Chicago O’Hare which will reclaim their title. It was busier in 2018 by aircraft movements. So what do your think, honestly I like Atlanta airport way more and hope it reclaims the title this year.

It isn’t a surprise to me because Chicago has been inching its way back up over the years. I have never flown into ATL but have flown into ORD. Many times actually because that’s where I used to live. ORD is too crowded but I like seeing it back on top of the list.

Great way to start off my morning 😭😭😭
KATL is still nicer overall, though, even with the massive amount of traffic it gets every single day

I would like ORD but I’m team ATL because Southwest flies there
Yeah, but I’m finding it hard to believe. Sorry. On the stats Atlanta had over 20 million more than ORD. It’s hard for a Airport to just get that much more and beat them like that. And hey. Atlanta still is the largest airport in the world.

I think KATL is definitely more organized and has a terminal layout that makes more sense. ORD is just… everywhere. The runway layout is crazy too!

hehe got me there. although ORD has its own vibe and a really nice layout. Atlanta is kind of blah.
I won’t say ATL is more organised than ORD (I’ve never flown into the latter so I can’t say personally), but I do prefer the runway layout in Atlanta. It is kinda boring though.
It is more organized. Just a glance at O’Hare airports runways going long in every which way gives me a headache. I like how ATL has an LAX style layout, simplifying things a bit
