The Chick-fil-A in ATL’s Concourse B just went 24/7, and I’m honestly not sure how this wasn’t bigger news. It’s the only location in the entire airport running around the clock, and for anyone stuck on an overnight layover in Atlanta, this is a genuine game changer.
I had a red-eye connection through ATL a few months ago and basically everything was closed after 10pm. Ended up eating vending machine snacks and feeling sorry for myself. If this had existed then, I would have been a much happier person at 2am with a chicken sandwich.
Probably should have led with this — ATL is the busiest airport in the world and handles a ridiculous number of overnight connections. Having at least one real food option available at all hours makes a meaningful difference. That’s what makes this Chick-fil-A update endearing to anyone who’s stared at dark food court storefronts during a late-night layover. Finally, something to eat at 3am that isn’t a bag of chips from a vending machine.
