ATLANTA, Feb. 1 (UPI) -- Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport received high ratings for connecting flights, business services and amenities in a poll of travel agents.

The survey of 930 owners, managers and travel experts in the Travel Leaders Group, a North American travel agency franchiser, praised Atlanta's airport as the best for connecting flights and noted more than 50 percent of respondents said their clients regularly attempted to avoid Chicago's O'Hare international Airport for connecting flights.

Amenities and dining opportunities at the Atlanta airport were also praised by respondents, the Atlanta Journal-Constitution reported Friday.
