Driving is also an option if you're close enough. I'd say, if you're less than a day away, driving is a great option right now. Especially when you factor in flight delays, which can add hours of waiting, even from places like Atlanta.
If you have the trusted vehicle and time, driving from Atlanta is a heck of a lot cheaper anyway. It is only a six to seven hour drive. And with a family of three or four that would need flight tickets that would cost a lot more than gas.
