Search Atlanta Flights from AU$1,250

Atlanta, Georgia, is known for many things: soul food, hip-hop and the Georgia Aquarium, for starters. But do you know the meaning of “meat-and-three” or “ITP”? Hold on to your (Atlanta Braves) hat, throw on some Southern rap and board your flight. You’ll be ITP (inside the perimeter) eating meat-and-three (an entree with three side dishes) before you know it.

Getting Around Atlanta

Flights to Atlanta will touch down at Hartsfield-Jackson International Airport (ATL), where you can hop on the Metro’s Gold Line for the 15km trip to the city centre. The Metro runs to most attractions, and taxis can cover the rest. For road trips and shopping sprees, though, look into Wotif’s awesome car hire deals.

When You Land…

Early morning flights arrive at the best time to snap a photograph of the downtown skyline from the iconic Jackson Street Bridge.

Landing in the afternoon? Lunch it up with the suits in Midtown before swimming with a different kind of shark at the Georgia Aquarium: huge and harmless whale sharks. With Atlanta flights arriving after sunset, you can jump right into the nightlife, from the jazz clubs of the Theatre District to top-40 DJs in Midtown.

Live Like a Local

Atlanta has some unusual locals—an emu named Big Lou, for one. You don’t have to live like him (after all, you’ve got the best hotels in Atlanta to choose from), but you can visit him at the Lake Claire Community Land Trust. He’s friendly, and he loves grapes!

You can buy lots of grapes for Big Lou (or lots of meat-and-three for yourself) with all the cash you save thanks to Wotif’s cheap flights to Atlanta. And if what you’re really craving is deep-dish cheese-and-three (OK, we made that up), check out our Chicago packages and make the 2-hour flight north. With trips to the South and the Midwest under your belt, your American holiday will be complete.
