Atlanta on a Budget

Half the expense of traveling is just getting there and finding decent lodging. Here is some budget friendly advice on getting to Atlanta without already spending half your bank.

Cheap flights are hard to find these days but luckily you can get a one-way ticket from Baltimore to Atlanta for less than $100. You may need to wait for air fare sales though. Try to be flexible with your travel dates. We chose to travel on a weekday, which is sometimes cheaper but definitely less crowded. Sometimes, avoiding the aggravation of crowds...well you can't put a price on that.

You can definitely find cheap hotels outside of downtown Atlanta. I booked at Hampton Inn in Fairburn for ~$75 per night. The hotel is new, so it's clean and well-maintained. It's 20 minutes from the airport and about 30 minutes from downtown. Finding hotels outside of the beltway will certainly help your budget.
