faqs[5]{q,a}:
  How far is Marietta to Atlanta Airport?,About 30 miles. Free-flow is 40–45 minutes. Peak is typically 1 hour 15 to 1 hour 45 through the city. Pattern estimates, not live times.
  Should you take I-75 or I-285 to Hartsfield-Jackson from Marietta?,Off-peak, take I-75 through the middle. At peak, take I-285 west then south. If you are unsure, take I-285 — the longer route costs about ten minutes; the Connector at 5 p.m. can cost forty.
  Does MARTA go to Marietta?,No. MARTA rail does not serve Marietta. Cobb County is outside the MARTA rail network. You can drive or get dropped at a northern Red Line station, then ride rail into the airport station.
  When should you leave Marietta for a morning flight?,For a flight departing before 9 a.m., leave Marietta by 5:30 a.m. Going to the airport has a deadline; coming home does not.
  Is airport parking cheaper than a rideshare from Marietta?,For a week-long trip, Hartsfield-Jackson parking often approaches a round-trip rideshare. Off-airport lots on I-85 and I-285 are cheaper with a shuttle. Run the numbers past three or four days.
