Another person tweeted that she tried to check in at the south terminal said they were moved to the international terminal.
@ATLairport what's going on in South terminal? Why is ALL of delta check in closed down? We have to take a shuttle to international terminal just to check a bag. And no one seems to be telling any of the people who are streaming in.
