About Atlanta

Atlanta is the capital of Georgia and a major business centre for the southeastern United States, home to the headquarters of Coca-Cola, Delta Air Lines and Home Depot. Its Hartsfield-Jackson airport is one of the world's busiest, and the city has a central place in the history of the civil rights movement.

Atlanta follows Eastern Time, UTC-5 in winter (EST) and UTC-4 in summer (EDT), when clocks go forward. It keeps the same clock as New York, Miami and Washington, D.C. Because so many flights connect through Atlanta, travellers often check its local time when planning layovers. It is one hour ahead of Chicago and Houston and three hours ahead of Los Angeles.
