From Savannah to the ATL: A Journey of Discovery (or Just Getting There)
So, you're itching to trade the charming cobblestones of Savannah for the bustling energy of Atlanta? Good call! While Savannah is a peach, Atlanta is the whole orchard. But how to get there, you ask? Let's break it down, shall we?
How To Get To Atlanta From Savannah |
Fly Like a Bird (Or at Least a Passenger)
If you're the type who prefers to leave the driving to the professionals (and let's face it, who doesn't love a good excuse to sip on a mini-bottle of wine), flying is your jam. The Savannah/Hilton Head International Airport (SAV) offers several daily flights to Atlanta's Hartsfield-Jackson International Airport (ATL). It’s a quick hop, skip, and a jump – unless you get stuck behind that one person who insists on boarding with their entire life in a carry-on.
QuickTip: Return to sections that felt unclear.
Hit the Road, Jack (or Jill)
For those who prefer the open road, the drive from Savannah to Atlanta is about a four-hour journey. It's a chance to soak in the Georgia countryside, which is surprisingly scenic. Just remember, Georgia heat can be a real party pooper, so pack plenty of water and snacks. And for the love of all things holy, avoid rush hour traffic in Atlanta. It's like trying to park a whale in a bathtub.

Bus Your Way There
If you're on a budget or just enjoy people-watching, taking a bus is a viable option. Greyhound offers service between Savannah and Atlanta, and it's usually cheaper than flying. Just be prepared for a longer journey and some questionable seatmates.
QuickTip: Let each idea sink in before moving on.
Otherworldly Options (Just Kidding)
- Teleportation: While it would be amazing to simply blink and appear in Atlanta, we're not quite there yet.
- Hitchhiking: Not recommended. Even Tom Thumb had a hard time with this one.
