Do you hate to wait at an airport, sitting around the gatehouse or in an airport lounge just to sit on a plane for boarding followed by a long flight? Well, if you're stuck at ATL, here's another option. You can take the longest one-way walk at the airport, avoiding most of the busy concourses for a relaxing stroll. A healthier option than food and beverage at one of the airport concession outlets, this two-mile trek can get your heart pumping or help you stretch your legs on a layover. And since most of it avoids the busiest ATL concourses, you'll reduce your exposure to others during uncertain times or cold and flu season. You can make the walk longer by going round trip, shorter by turning around earlier, and combine it with the Skytrain if you find yourself running out of time.
