what is an airport hub?

279 views

I am not a big traveler but I always hear people say “hub” & from what I’m gathering it’s like a home base for certain airlines? Why do people like/not like them?

For example delta has a hub in atl but everyone complains about flying delta out of atl because “it’s a hub”…

The complaint with Atlanta is that, people who are used to smaller airports, think Atlanta is too big.

But of course a hub is going to be big. It exists to connect other destinations that would otherwise not be large enough to support their own flights.

People need to just get used to the idea that, if they’re on a connecting flight, most likely the airport they will be connecting at will be larger than their home or destination airport. And therefore should allow more time than normal.
