Check my math.

Avsim front page about KATL Atlanta (presumably before covid):

"96 million passengers board nearly 1 million flights to over 200 destinations every year."

96,000,000 / 365 days =263,014 passengers boarding at KATL daily.

A quarter million every day!

On the other hand, 96,000,000/1,000,000 = 96 passengers per flight. Does that seem a bit low?

Alternatively, 1,000,000/365 = 2,740 flights per day. Does that seem a bit high?

In December of 2019 there were 74,163 aircraft operations at KATL for that month alone, transporting 9,094,827 passengers.

Having flown in and out of KATL hundreds times over the years I don't doubt those numbers. At times you have to be there to believe it. I guess that's why it's called the busiest airport in the world.

Off Topic: The Braves baseball team stole the tomahawk chop from Florida State Seminole fans (Tallahassee is close to Atlanta) 😞

Well, I moved to Florida from Atlanta so which side should I choose?
