I am flying to Paris from Atlanta next Tuesday. My flight leaves at 3:30 pm. I entered my passport and global entry info when I bought my ticket and they are also in my profile on the Delta App. I will only have carry-on luggage. Has anyone flown internationally thru Atlanta recently? How much in advance of my flight should I get to the airport?

I recommend 3 hours. I recently flew to Florence Italy in April and wait times were very reasonable. This was after the DHS funding fight.

For international flights, 3 hours is always recommended. Plus, they will start boarding about an hour BEFORE your departure, so around 2:30. We just went thru Atlanta 3 weeks ago on the way to Belgium.

We were there three hours before our flight and it was enough time to get through security, eat dinner,and still had plenty of wait time at the gate. Have a great flighf!

If you only have carry-on, have your boarding pass, and have TSA Pre-check, three hours is overkill.
You can go straight to security when you arrive at the airport.
Two hours should be fine.
