Why this matters in The Atlanta

For Atlanta residents with loved ones in hurricane-prone areas, Priority Evac's new service offers a sense of security, guaranteeing a seat on an evacuation flight to Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport. The four-figure membership fee may be steep for some, but for those who can afford it, the peace of mind may be worth the cost. As a major hub, Atlanta's airport is well-equipped to handle influxes of evacuees, and the city's infrastructure can accommodate the needs of those fleeing storms.
