Well, that should be fun! We did the MEM to ATL flight on Delta last year on our way to MBJ. Heading out was swift and seamless but beware - you'll need to get from one end of the airport to the other. The tram is a must. We had time to use the restroom and grab a quick snack while we moved but it was pretty much get off and get right back on. I've never flown on Thanksgiving - the extra crowd may make it a challenge. Hope for good weather and no delays at MEM as well.

Our flight back was a bit more of an adventure as the pilot didn't know where he was supposed to go at ATL and we ended up in the middle of the parking lot, exiting commando-style at the rear of the plane and getting bussed to the terminal.

Enjoy your trip!
