Flights from Roxas Airport, Roxas City

Hartsfield-Jackson International Airport (ATL) has been the busiest airport in the world since 1998, so it’s fitting that it comes in first on our list. Located just 10 miles from downtown Atlanta, ATL serves 150 US destinations and more than 75 international destinations in 50 countries. Because Atlanta is a two-hour flight from 80% of the US population, it’s a major connection hub. With two terminals, seven concourses and 209 gates, it might seem a bit overwhelming. Luckily, there’s a ‘Plane Train’ every two minutes to get you where you need to go. And almost 85% of flights from Hartsfield Atlanta leave on

Things to see and do
