Advantages: Great hub if travelling by Delta. Disadvantages: A little chaotic.
Apparently, it used to be different. At least one other reviewer here thinks so but I think the review was written before 9/11. In those days, my colleagues tell me, you could breeze through passport control and be on your way with a lot of welcoming smiles.
I have travelled there a lot in the last year or so, and I can tell you that things have changed. Here are my tips for surviving the arrivals area.
1. Controls are a lot more stringent, ...

Advantages: connect to a lot of places Disadvantages: IMMIGRATION, rude staff
I frequently travel to Arizona and although I prefer to opt for American Airlines as my airmiles are stacking up, generally go for the cheapest option or whatever will get me to my destination at a reasonable hour. So in December I flew with Delta via Atlanta.
This review may seem biased and I really don't know too much about the facilities at the airport as I wasn't there long, but I thought I'd share my bad experiences with staff, etc. I know other ...

Advantages: A good example of how a large airport should be run Disadvantages: Perhaps a little more walking to your gate is required then other airports
Even though Atlanta airport can seem to be as busy as a British city centre railway station and much larger, it is very easy to find your way around largely due to the helpful and courteous staff.

I travelled there from a chaotic Manchester airport (all the computers were down) last October ...

Advantages: Useful train system from gates to baggage claim, close to city Disadvantages: Too much dark brown décor!
While not the most special airport in the world the international airport in Atlanta (Hartsfield) is a pretty decent one to fly into.

Advantages: You can connect to most other US cities through this airport Disadvantages: expect flight delays when weather is a factor
Atlanta Airport is huge, and spread out to accomodate thousands of travelers each day. It is a hub for Delta Airlines and many of their flights connect/arrive/depart through here. Many services are there, including, food, shopping, business and meeting facilities. There is subway transportation into the heart of the city. Also other types of ground transportation and all major car rental companies. Handicapped assistance is available with a call ahead ...

Advantages: Easy to get around Disadvantages: None experienced
...didn't spend very long in Atlanta, so I can't comment on the shops or catering facilities, but the experience was about as painless as it is possible to make it.
If you have a choice of hub airports for a trip to the US, I can recommend Atlanta. ...
