Delta May Charge a Baggage fee for Curbside Check-In

Delta May Charge a Baggage fee for Curbside Check-In

Delta at Hartsfield-Jackson International Airport in Atlanta may charge around $2 per bag for people who decide to check in at the curb rather than checking in inside the airport,  according to an article by the AJC.com. Currently there is no fee for this Delta service in Atlanta; travelers are expected to tip skycap personnel. Apparently, Delta is planning to outsource the skycap service to a third party company, eliminating skycap jobs (the existing workers can continue on with the new company or get another job within Delta). This entire affair means that travelers who use curbside check-in with Delta in Atlanta will likely have to …read more

Five Things to Love About The Georgia Aquarium

Five Things to Love About The Georgia Aquarium

I love the Georgia Aquarium. I can’t get enough of it. Maybe it’s the fact that it’s indoors and it’s cold outside. Anyway I can pinpoint five good reasons to visit the Georgia Aquarium, especially if you are single.
1. It’s easy to park. You don’t have to drive around searching for a parking space. You do need to bring money, though. There’s a parking garage near and uncovered parking across the street from the Aquarium.
2. Singles can hang out there without sticking out. I mention this, because I happen to be single, and there are some restaurants and clubs that are just …read more

It’s cold and rainy in the ATL!

It’s cold and rainy in the ATL!

Most areas of the city of Atlanta are experiencing rain and temperatures in the low 30s. The weather  in Atlanta is not low enough for the rain to freeze, but of course, the way we drive there are issues on the highways during rush hour. Why is it that we get about a half inch of snow in Atlanta or a good hardy rain, and we just can’t handle our business on the road. Visitors, understand that if you are caught in Atlanta traffic  during inclement weather, there will be a major traffic jam. The traffic jam will not necessarily …read more
