Atlanta airport's power is restored | What now?

What to do if you've been affected by the Atlanta airport power outage.

In case you haven't heard, the power was out at Hartsfield-Jackson Airport.

Hartsfield is the busiest airport in the whole world. So what on earth do you do when the power goes out for the entire airport during the busiest travel time of the year?

Panic!

No, I'm joking, but seriously. Here's what you need to do if you are either stranded at the airport or trying to get into Atlanta.

Hartsfield-Jackson is providing up-to-date information on airport operations on their social media and encourage all patrons to keep in contact with the airline they are traveling with.

The airport is requiring travelers to reprint their tickets before going through security checkpoints if they were dated for Sunday, December 17.
