Funny you should ask about Atlanta airport. Actually I have quite the history going through there on my Take The Stairs World Tour. Both times I went through I was able to get around the seemingly impossible “escalator only” environment. You can find the stories here:

See you in the stairwell, Rory

Greetings from the Delta Crown Club in the Atlanta airport. I am on my way to Guatemala to give a Guerrilla Marketing seminar in Spanish.

I always take the escalator in Atlanta, because the stairs are blocked. When you try to open the door to the stairs, an alarm goes off. But I never take the train. Today I walked one mile to the E terminal. A great start to a 4-hour trip. And I always love to walk after getting off the airplane. There is a magnificent exhibit of African sculptures between the T and A terminals that most people miss when they take the train.

Have you figured out a way to avoid the escalators in the Atlanta airport?
