Best Restaurants To Eat At In The Atlanta Airport

atlanta airport restaurantsDo you have a long layover in the Hartsfield-Jackon Atlanta Airport? Or are you one of those people who still shows up at the airport two hours before your flight? Hopefully, it’s not because your flight got cancelled or you missed your flight, but whatever reason you’re stuck at the Atlanta Airport, there’s good news. If you’re hungry, there’s some great food to be had without even leaving the airport. Here are a few recommendations from my opinion and other traveler’s opinions found in various forums and threads around the Internet.

Paschal’s: an Atlanta institution in business since 1947. The original restraurant was the site of many strategy meetings held by Martin Luther King, Jr. and other civil rights leaders during the 1960s. There are now three Paschal’s locations in the airport – one in the Atrium and one in terminal A and terminal C. Fried chicken just like my grandmother used to make. Artery clogging? Oh yes. But definitely authentic soul food.

Wall Street Deli: The Wall Street Deli in Terminal A has the best sandwitches in the airport.

Atlanta Bread Company: This place is like Panera Bread, but it’s more regional, and the best part is that quality isn’t lost with this location in the airport as opposed to the free-standing units. You can get a good sandwich and soup that will fill you up for a long flight.

One Flew South: One Flew South is the first upscale dining experience in Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport. Diners can enjoy spirited global fare featuring premium ingredients from regional farmers and purveyors. One Flew South serves proper cocktails and features an exceptional sushi menu and take-away items. Not sure how many of you want fine dining in an airport, but if you’re looking for something that’s not greasy and fried, this is your best choice, but you’ll pay for it.

Sweet Water Brew House: This is a great place to grab a beer and some good pub food. It’s a local microbrewery, so if you’re a beer aficionado and you like trying new stuff, this is a good place to kill some time. It’s located in Concourse B.

Great Wraps: I like a good wrap, and this place is pretty quality. It’s lighter fare, but always big enough to fill you up. It’s located in Concourse A. Nature’s Table is another great place for wraps, sandwiches, smoothies, and soup, but according to the website, it’s currently closed for renovation (as of 5/13/2010).

Another good tip is to watch where the Delta pilots and other regulars eat, because they practically live at that airport, and they probably know the best places to eat. Do you have any suggestions for good places to eat in the world’s busiest airport?

Getting To Know The NEW Atlanta Airport Rental Car Center

The Atlanta airport is HUGE, and it’s a major hub for all flights going to or from the south, so this makes it a REALLY busy airport. I love searching for key phrases like “Atlanta Airport” on Twitter and Facebook and seeing all of the updates from people about how confused or lost they are at the airport. They recently made renting a car a little easier by creating a facility where all of the rental car companies (including E-Z Rent-a-Car!) are located. This makes your rental car buying more efficient and easier to access at the airport. Here is some more information for those of you planning on renting a car from Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta Airport.

How To Access The Rental Car Center

  1. Pick up your checked luggage at the north or south baggage claim area.
  2. Follow the overhead signs and hallway placards to the rental car center.
  3. Proceed out of the west end of the terminal under the covered walkway.
  4. Take the escalator up to the station and board the ATL SkyTrain for the five-minute ride to the rental car center

Benefits Of the Hartsfield-Jackson Rental Car Center

  • efficiency, convenience and streamlined service
  • No more long, bumpy rides to reach remote parking lots
  • Eliminating rental agency shuttle buses dramatically improves traffic on Airport roadways and reduces emissions that harm the environment
  • The state-of-the-art Rental Car Center also helps Hartsfield-Jackson meet anticipated growth in the number of passengers and improve customer service.

As you can see, this is a huge improvement for the Atlanta Hartsfield-Jackson Airport, and we were proud to be a part of their new facility. If you’re traveling for business or pleasure to Atlanta, make sure you check our rates for the best value in car rental!

Travel Tips To Consider When Visiting Los Angeles

Los Angeles is one of the largest and most exciting cities in the country. There is always something going on in the city and the surrounding area on a daily basis. But like every other area, it has it’s own unique qualities and intricacies that you should know about before traveling to the City of Angels. Here are a few tips to consider before you make your trip to Los Angeles.

  1. The weather is generally mild. We see palm trees, the beach, and sun, and we automatically assume that it’s always 85 degrees in Los Angeles. This is definitely not true. Most of the year, the weather stays in the 70′s, and it can even feel chilly at night and when the sun is behind the clouds. During the middle of the summer, it definitely warms up. The valley can get VERY hot, but it’s usually dry heat. Also, many people don’t realize that the Pacific Ocean stays fairly cold throughout the year, so if you’re used to the Atlantic Ocean, be prepared for colder water.
  2. Consider alternatives to Los Angeles International Airport (LAX). Flying into LAX can be a nightmare. It’s one of the busiest airports in the world, and it’s also very confusing. If you can get a good rate, we recommend flying into the Burbank International Airport. It’s much more quiet, and you can still rent a discount car from us! Of course, most of the best rates will be flying into LAX, but don’t worry, we have a great staff that can help you get into a great rental car for less.
  3. Los Angeles Is a Driving Town. We’re not just saying this, because we’re in the rental car business! The Greater Los Angeles area sprawls hundreds of miles, and even though they have a decent bus and metro train system, it cannot accommodate all of the areas of Los Angeles. Ask anyone, and they’ll tell you that renting a car is essential when visiting the area.
  4. Venture outside of L.A. County. Santa Barbara and the surrounding area are about 2 hours away, and it is an area that you must visit. In the south, Orange County has a lot to offer as well, and San Diego is only about a 2 and a 1/2 hour drive away.
  5. Wake Up Early. If you want to visit one of the popular shows taped in Los Angeles and you don’t already have tickets, you’ll need to be up VERY early to get in line for standby tickets. Also, the tours for Universal Studios and NBC fill up quickly too, so don’t assume that you’ll be able to walk right up to the popular attractions no matter what time of year you’re there. Also, popular game shows like “The Price Is Right” don’t tape every week, so check their taping schedule first before you roll up there at 5am!

Los Angeles is a great place to visit, but make sure you’re prepared for it!

Spring Break Hot Spots In Florida To Visit

March is one of the most beautiful months in the state of Florida, because the weather is usually warm enough to go to the beach, but cool enough enjoy being outside. Each year, thousands of spring break college students and families from up north visit Florida in March and April for the spring break school holiday. Fortunately, there are plenty of options for discount travel to Florida, including cheap rental cars offered by E-Z Rent-A-Car. Tampa, Ft. Lauderdale, and Miami are all popular destinations for Spring Break, because the night life is great, the beaches are better, and they have plenty of hotels and tourist attractions to accommodate you.

Tampa, Florida

I recently wrote an article giving you some ideas for fun, free things to do in Tampa, and I recommend you check out all of those recommendations when you’re visiting Tampa. St. Petersburg beach, Ft. Desoto beach (at southern tip of Pinellas County), and Clearwater beach are three great beaches you must try out. Also, you’ll save a lot of money in Tampa if you choose a hotel just off the beach. The area of Tampa, Clearwater, and St. Petersburg is huge, and we recommend renting a discount rental car from the Tampa Airport.

Ft. Lauderdale, Florida

Ft. Lauderdale is only 30 minutes from the heart of Miami, it’s less busy, and it has wonderful, sprawling beaches. The beaches are also less crowded, and you’ll spend less on a hotel if you stay on the beaches of Ft. Lauderdale. South Beach has the name and recognition, and it usually boasts higher hotel prices because of it. You won’t be disappointed if you decide to stay in Ft. Lauderdale, and they have their own international airport that is less crowded and easier to get in and out of. Rent a car from Ft. Lauderdale Airport (FLL)

Miami, Florida

If you’ve never visited Miami, it is truly a unique experience. The rich Cuban and Hispanic influence make Miami such a great experience for anyone looking for something different. South Beach is the famous beach of the Miami Beaches, and there’s always something to do. It has art-deco, historical hotels, great food, and vibrant night life. We recommend this list of great restaurants in Miami to try. If you want to experience all of the great attractions that Miami has to offer such as the Planetarium, The Island Parrot Jungle, or the Art Museum, we recommend renting a car with E-Z from MIami International Airport.

E-Z Rent-A-Car Has Officially Moved To In-Terminal at Denver International Airport

In the past, if you flew into Denver International Airport to pick up your discount rental car from E-Z, you had to go straight to a shuttle bus and trek about 5 miles to get to our rental car location. We knew this wasn’t the most convenient set up for our great customers, so we have worked long and hard to get an in-terminal location at the Denver airport.

That time has finally arrived, and we have a huge rental counter area in-terminal at Denver International Airport. Instead of getting on a shuttle bus to travel 5 miles away from the airport to get to your cheap rental car, we are now less than a mile away for your convenience.

Some Great Features About Our New Location

  • More counter space with six computers to stream line the check-in process
  • Our fleet is now located less than a mile from the main airport terminals.
