Unless you're going to Philly, airport traffic moving smoothly
Christmas travelers are having few delays out of Hartsfield-Jackson International Airport today -- save for those headed to Philadelphia.
Flights headed to the City of Brotherly Love are experiencing delays averaging one hour and 30 minutes. Otherwise, departures and arrivals remain on schedule, give or take 15 minutes, according to the Federal Aviation Administration website.
Elsewhere, the blizzard that dumped snow and ice in the central Plains and Midwest on Thursday continues to snarl holiday travel, contributing to hour-plus delays and flight cancellations. Airport spokesman DeAllous Smith said anyone flying should check with their specific airline to see whether their flight is on time.
