Those heading to the airport for flights or to pick up passengers should allow extra time to get through congestion.
Heavy volumes of arriving passengers also caused crowds at Uber and Lyft pickup zones and shuttle pickup areas as Thanksgiving travelers returned to Atlanta. Those arriving back at Hartsfield-Jackson should also allow extra time to make their way through the crowds.
